Can we all take a deep breath and lay off the hyperbole? The only
point under discussion in this subthread is whether pprint -- our
module for producing nicely-formatted-reprs -- should continue to sort
keys, or should continue to provide an accurate repr. There are
reasonable arguments for both positions, but no-one's suggesting
anything in the same solar system as "all users of dict have to be
updated".

Am I missing some underlying nerve that this is hitting for some reason?
