In the original discussion, I think they decided to reimplement set before dict.

If builtin dict in both of PyPy and CPython is ordered, many people will relying it. It will force other Python implementations to implement it for compatibility. In other words, it may be de-facto "Python Language", even if Python Language spec say it's an implementation detail.

Is it OK?

Ordered, or just initially ordered? I mean, "ordered if no deletion".

They discussed scrambling the order.
