I disagree.  Maintenance tasks are OK for minor point releases.  But  
for transitioning between major releases, this needs to be part of  
admin-performed upgrade instructions.

This turns out to be a better place to check for this.  Although it  
adds a bit of overhead everytime the sortby pref is accessed, it is  
probably good to always make sure this value is valid anyway.
