------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 In #31634 (parent), we found :

 >Our subsystem order does not currently match the topology very well at
 all: there are four discontinuities on the ordering. I think they are
 caused by: btrack, compress, winprocess, threads. We should re-order
 these, but doing so will require us to re-organize some of our code. That
 seems like a stability risk.

 Let's try this in 0.4.4.
