--- Comment #8 from Peter Rosin <peda at lysator dot liu.se> ---
No, you read the history wrong, bug 9913 was first "fixed" with the
commit I pointed at previously. That commit in turn broke transitivity
when it also attempted to "Optimize size of tables", and was subsequently
fixed a few weeks later [1] (as a result of comment #2 from Jakub).
The real meat of the change committed for bug 9913 can be seen in the patch
in the original bug description, it is only changing a LEN to a CMP. This is
the same class of change that I'm proposing; a sort order change for
fractions.
The question still stands, why was it OK to change sort order in 2009 but
not now?
