What does it say? That Python is willing to spend more computation time for simplicity, without waiting for the programmer to ask for it? That Python will make semantic changes in minor version bumps of the language?

The new-ish ordered dictionary is actually faster. It is also completely backward compatible for any but the most contrived example.

Now wasting computation on randomizing... that is a problem.
