I think it's the combination with PEP 487 that makes OrderedDict-by-default
genuinely compelling, so I don't mind if the application to class
namespaces slips to 3.6 (and perhaps even becomes part of that PEP).

For the feature freeze exception for the C odict implementation itself, I
think I'm morally obliged to back that given my highly debatable decision
to check in the PEP 489 implementation even though we hadn't worked out all
the kinks in module unloading yet (Petr subsequently got all of the
refleaks in the machinery itself sorted out before the beta, including a
previously undetected one in PyType_FromSpecAndBases, but there's still a
leak when unloading the new multi-phase initialisation test module).

Regards,
Nick.
