New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
Now that regular dicts are ordered and compact, it makes more sense for the _asdict() method to create a regular dict (as it did in its early days) rather than an OrderedDict. The regular dict is much smaller, much faster, and has a much cleaner looking repr. Historically we would go through a deprecation period for a possibly breaking change; however, it was considered more benefit to users and less disruptive to make the update directly.
