Note: just to be clear, this PEP is not about changing type._dict_ to OrderedDict. By 'type', do you mean the one and one objected named 'type or the class being defined? To be really clear, will the following change?

class C: pass type(C.dict) <class 'mappingproxy'>

I mean the latter, "type" -> the class being defined.

If the proposal only affects (slows) the class definition process, and then only minimally, and has no effect on class use, then +1 on being able to avoid metaclass and prepare for its most common current usage.

That is all correct.
