As you probably noticed I've applied it (with one minor cleanup), and
also addressed a similar issue in a different place that way, as it
broke buildbots and I thought it was urgent.

I don't yet understand how exactly the versioning works in this
context, but if we do versioning and it solve this problem also, I
have no problem with reordering the libs again so that they can work
as a canary.
