The `OrdinalEncoder` class that is planned to be introduced in Scikit-Learn 0.20 (see [PR #10521](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/10521)) is preferable since it is designed for input features (`X` instead of labels `y`) and it plays well with pipelines, as we will see later in this notebook.
