I thought Go made the change from undefined behaviour with an underlying implementation that was insertion order in a map with 8 or fewer entries, to similarly undefined behaviour with an implementation that randomised lookups in those cases. Any code that has ever relied on any kind of ordering in Go maps will almost certainly be wrong, even random ordering, because the distribution of the "random" ordering is biased.
