Comment (by akaariai):

 The pull request doesn't seem to do what Luke asked - it disallows the
 usage in any filtered situation, not just in conjunction with .distinct().
 It seems likely there are users relying on this currently.

 As for fixing the distinct() + limit + .exists() - it should be done by
 not doing select distinct(1) but instead select distinct {normal select
 fields} instead. I wonder if this would be straightforward to do?
