The original concern (that sys.implementation may differ in length

Uh. It's scary the kind of things people sometimes come up with :-)

sys.implementation.metadata looks like a completely over-engineered
concept. Please, let's just make sys.implementation a dict and stop
bothering about ordering and iterability.
Thank you for cutting through the knot.
Agreed.
Ditto. Iterability is good and should be part of all python collections.
People who want a sorted representation should just use sorted(d.items)
as with other sortable mappings. Nick's idea of prefixing local
implementation keys with '_' would nicely group them together on sorted
displays.
