My preference is to allow both orders for one release, then only allow
the "correct" order in the next. be sure to absolutely make this a
big red notice in the changelog.

I just scanned my main app and found two instances where I use FOR
UPDATE LIMIT 1. These are trivial to change, but difficult to do at
the same moment I update the db server. One of these I probably don't
even need the LIMIT...
