I think we should figure out whether eaComp should or shouldn't exist
first. Currently it's only used in InOrder. Why is it necessary instead
of using the other, existing mechanisms? I vaguely remember having this
conversation before, but I don't remember who said what, what was
decided, or if we even came to a conclusion.
