python 3 types module

Why is the types module in Python 3 so small?

Python 2.7
>>> import types    
>>> print(len([i for i in dir(types) if not i.startswith('__')]))
37


Python 3.2
>>> import types    
>>> print(len([i for i in dir(types) if not i.startswith('__')]))
12

In Python 3.x, the types module removed all types that are already accessible via easier means like the builtin namespace. For example, you will see that ListType and IntType have been removed because you can simply access them via list and int respectively.
