Dicts give you the choice of iterating by keys, values, or items (key,value pairs). Keys was chosen as the default after much discussion because it was most intuitive to more people and was expected to be the most common in usage. I believe the choice has worked well enough for most people, so that there is no reason to gratuitously break existing code. So I strongly suspect the answer is 'no'.
