Except that, now that I think a bit more about it: if we're going to reorder the scene graph before rendering it at the GskRenderNode level then we won't be able to maintain existing relations between nodes — thus the whole idea of keeping nodes around is moot. If we want to allow widgets to keep around GskRenderNode instances across frames then we'll have to reorder the scene graph at the lower layers, for instance when we transform GskRenderNode into RenderItems inside GskGLRenderer.
