Summary: An ordered hash that does not support deletes could cause a user visible bug. At a minimum it should support the special case of delete that is supported by the Perl each() operator.
The proposed ordered hash ist mostly used for Parrot internals. If a user visible OrderedHash PMC is there, it will have some restrictions - or not - WRT delete or indexed-only inserts.
A Perl Hash is still something different and doesn't have these restrictions.
