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

I ended-up going in a different direction with sets (using linear probes to reduce the cost of collisions). Also, after the original discussion, PyPy implemented the idea for dicts and achieved some nice improvements. So, I think Inada Naoki is going in the right direction by focusing on compact dicts.
