After we have dropped OrderedDict in e3b267e2e0
we are relying on python3.7+ default behavior to preserve the insertion
order, but there is one caveat.
When comparing dictionaries the order is still irrelevant compared to
OrderedDict. For example:
>>> OrderedDict([(1,1), (2,2)]) == OrderedDict([(2,2), (1,1)])
False
>>> dict([(1,1), (2,2)]) == dict([(2,2), (1,1)])
True
There are two special attributes, defined in the specification, where
the order makes a difference when comparing two objects:
- Metadata.signatures
- Targets.delegations.roles.
We want to make sure that the order in those two cases makes a
difference when comparing two objects and that's why those changes
are required inside two __eq__ implementations.
