On Twitter, someone raised an interesting question. Is the guarantee just for 3.7 and later? Or will the blessing also cover 3.6 where it is already true. The 3.6 guidance is to use OrderedDict() when ordering is required. As of now, that guidance seems superfluous and may no longer be a sensible practice. For example, it would be nice for Eric Smith when he does his 3.6 dataclasses backport to not have to put OrderedDict back in the code. Do you still have the keys to the time machine?
