That was already factored in in prior discussions. The reason we follow broadcast order is because it was decided that the production numbers we obtained we're unreliable, in that sources did not share production codes. For instance, Wikipedia (more specifically, a site cited by Wikipdia) or iTunes and its cohorts would give one code, while another source like a Disney press release or Swampy Marsh would give contradicting codes. When we realized that we had no way of determining which was true, we decided to go for broadcast order instead.

Does that sound wonky to you? I wouldn't blame you. It was a topic of debate back then, too. But as it stands, that is our official style, so it's not up to you or me. Rules are rules.

You could try petitioning in the forums, though.
