Hi, guys
In https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/4904, I made csv.DictReader
returning regular dict instead of OrderedDict. But this code could break
existing code that relied on methods like move_to_end() which are present
in OrderedDict() but not in dict().
As rhettinger suggested, such code
Well then, maybe you can propose some specific set of changes? (I'm about
to go on vacation and I'd like to focus on other things for the next two
weeks though, so don't count on me too much.)

I think it's more acceptable to require matching versions now than it was
10 years ago -- people are much more likely to use installer tools like pip
and conda that can check version compatibility.
I think I'd be okay with dropping the flag-based mechanism you describe if

Hello,
Nowadays we have an official mechanism for third-party C extensions to
be binary-compatible accross feature releases of Python: the stable ABI.
But, for non-stable ABI-using C extensions, there are also mechanisms
in place to *try* and ensure binary compatibility. One of them is the
