I don't think this is a good idea. It should return whatever the syscall
returns.

In addition it would mean that some packages would be reproducible but only
when built on a "new" Python, which seems sub-optimal. We should fix the
(vanishingly few) upstreams that *rely* on the order instead of ordering
by default.
