Hi Aymeric,

Nice work on the DEP. I tend to agree with Carl that I like a 'NAME' key in 
TEMPLATES rather than requiring the use of OrderedDict, but I can also see 
why you don't. I think it might simply the implementation if TEMPLATES was 
always a list of dictionaries rather than allowing it to be a dict or an 
OrderedDict. But if you decide not to go that route: if Django iterates 
over a plain dict to select a template, it seems that could result in some 
weird performance issues, e.g. if a page that expects template loader 'A' 
and sometimes tries 'A' as the first loader, sometimes as the second, etc 
(assuming there is some performance penalty for trying a loader and not 
finding the template). If it were me, I think I'd always enforce ordering 
if len(TEMPLATES) > 1 as Carl suggested. If the only downside is the 
ugliness of OrderedDict, well I think it might save some headaches and 
support queries.
