That's nonsense, IMO. The order is determined by patch requirements, and 
patchadd (and therefore PCA) would refuse to install a patch unless its 
requirements are met.

I haven't heard about any problems with 147440-25 yet, but it's pretty 
new. But if there is a problem with it rendering systems unbootable, 
this surely will be noticed by others as well. Just to be sure: The 
patch README has a note about a minimum firmware revision, but that's 
pretty old and you probably checked that already.
