Actually, the more I think about it the more I think that 3 numbers might be the answer. 99% of the code would use only the permanent ID.

Insert without a column list will need the logical ordering, I think. Also use of "like foo" in a create table statement. I'm not dead sure there aren't one or two others lurking. But I agree that the number is small.
