I have summarized the discussion about the usability of lists (and and other mutable types) as dictionary keys and put it into the Python wiki.URL: http://www.python.org/moin/DictionaryKeys.
This summary might be used as a reference should the 'mutable dictionary keys' issue come up again in c.l.py.
