Dec 6, 2010 at 5:31 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine Well, it’s only unnecessary if you’re assuming AC (which was not, if I understand right, quite as entrenchedly automatic among set theorists back in the ’60s as it is now). It’s necessary if you want to talk about cardinalities — and more generally, construct quotients of classes by equivalence relations — in ZF and many other set theories.
