In any case, since OrderedDict seems to be viewed as a legacy feature now, making any change to it is an odd idea on the face of it.
As far as I understood the discussions on python-dev, it is not viewed as legacy feature by everybody. At least when dicts with different order (otherwise the same) remain equal. I don't see that changing (it would be very backwards incompatible), hence I think OrderedDict still has it's place (far from legacy).
I think it's legacy in the sense that for new code, very few people are now going to reach for an OrderedDict. Eric
