Since this commit was just about changing the syntax, not the semantics,
I would expect it to keep phases in the same order.  That would be more
concise than adding custom code to patch things here and there, no?

WDYT?

That’s fine with me, even though I have a slight preference for simply
restoring the order of phases as it was before.

Thanks!
