And by "literally", you mean "hyperbolically".

Anyone else's imaginations going wild thinking what bizarre combination of circumstances might lead to the lack of a "group by" in an ORM leading to a gradual death, during which one still has sufficient strength to post to HN?

I'll give this a shot.

No group by means that a Mr. Blair's project fails, and he gets fired, and loses his health insurance. Combined with his pre-existing medical conditions, he cannot get another job nor afford treatment, and dies a slow death of, say, bonitis.

Literally dead, for lack of a "group by" in an ORM.

I think you probably mean Ticket #17144.

#1744 was a bug in contrib.comments and was fixed 6 years ago.

Ran headfirst into this issue earlier this week. Unfortunately, the issue was not fixed in 1.4 as of Monday.

Judging by their published release timeline, 1.4 is set to be released the first week of March, I dont think a fix will make it in to 1.4. :[
