(if a PEP is needed at all) I don't think so. My PEP is not for changing Python Language, just describe implementation detail. Python 3.5 has new OrderedDict implemented in C without PEP. My patch is relatively small than it. And the idea has been well known.

How about, for 3.6, target re-implementing OrderedDict using the compact dict approach (and leave dict alone for now). That way we have an extra release cycle to iron out the kinks before switching dict over for 3.7. :)
