FWIW, I prefer having explicit ordering that cannot be changed at
runtime. I'm just concerned about painting ourselves (further) into a
corner with security= suddenly gaining ordering semantics, but maybe I
can just ignore this and we can point and laugh at anyone who gets
burned by some future change to making it order-sensitive. :)
