At some point, presuming that there is no speed penalty, the
behaviour will surely become not just enabled by default but
mandatory. Python has never promised that hashes must be
predictable or consistent, so apart from backwards compatibility
concerns for old versions, future versions of Python should make
it mandatory. Presuming that there is no speed penalty, I'd argue
in favour of making it mandatory for 3.3. Why do we need a flag
for something that is going to be always on?

I think the whole paragraph is invalid, because it presumes there is
no speed penalty. I presume there will be a speed penalty, until
benchmarking shows otherwise.<br>
