I hope we're not glossing over anything here.  Is there a bug report for the
check failure in the beta yet?  It looks like 2.2 and 2.3 were able to check
that repo, so why should we ship 2.4 if it fails to check it?

Why is it less convenient?  Also, since the columns are labeled why is it
important to pick one?  I'm someone who is unlikely to remember what order I
used, or others used in the past, so to me the labels are significantly more
valuable than a convention.
