Well, it would be an "unenhancement" (reducing functionality :).  

What I think it would be classed as is an API bug fix, and those generally can be made only in feature releases.  I can imagine code depending on this ability, since we have had code in the wild that depends on the ability to put non-string keys in an object's __dict__ even before SimpleNamespace existed.

(By the way, dir is broken if an object's __dict__ contains non-string keys.)
