This change is backward incompatible and buggy; the rationale for SCCS being in the "early" group still holds as far as I know, unless SCCS has improved its support for whole-tree commits recently. Just deprecate it entirely, by removing it from the list. Maybe document that 'SCCS is an allowed element, and it should come early if it's used.
