There's a great talk by David Beazley[0], which I don't remember its title right now, where he bashes all previous python versions except the latest at the time[1], which was 3.6. And he says "since I'm not a core developer, I can tell you this: rely on dicts being ordered so much that eventually they'll make it official". Guess he "won" in the end ;)

[0] Well, he usually gives great talks anyway

[1] Alright, he literally started many talks doing that

Raymond Hettinger does or did a few talks on dictionaries too. He covers the history of dictionaries in python and how they evolved. It was mentioned in the article's comment section.
