It *might* make sense to revisit this once 3.5 is no longer maintained at all, but I think Guido's exactly right in his analysis. If people start relying on all dicts being ordered now, their code won't be compatible with both 3.5 and 3.6, and I think it's important to emphasize this to developers.
