True, I was not aware of that... But the thread also predict OrderedDict will become very unfrequent, and that's also my impression: we are currently removing our OrderedDict. I expect OrderedDict will be used only in place where the sequential order is a primary characteristic, with key access the secondary use pattern. dict will be used in the opposite context, key are the preffered access and order is only a secondary charateristic (that's our use case, order is needed only to make iteration order deterministic). In this sense, the current repr is imho better: it emphasize the order aspect (through the list) while your proposal emphasize the dict aspect.
