What?! We needed custom sorting in the Bad Old Days, to sort the node
IDs so that relatedness checks were faster. In these Enlightened Times
of the New Schema, no such customization should be necessary. Please
tell me that we're really not using custom sort algorithms any more, so
that db_dump and db_load can work.

Otherwise we'll need another repository reload before 1.0.
