Without numbers it's hard to say for certain, but the advantage to keeping ordered dictionaries a distinct type is that the standard dictionary type can then get that extra bit of speed in exchange for dropping the ordering requirement.
I expect that dicts and OrderedDicts will remain separate for reasons of speed, space, and respect for people's mental models.
