Are you kidding? It was you who supported idea of removing
this feature:

‘’'
You can always use WHERE pk IN (subquery expr) - this is the standard alternative.
ORDER BY ... LIMIT is only useful if your optimizer is very weak, otherwise you can do it efficiently with a standard compliant SQL, in relational spirit.
‘''

But OK, even if we decided to enable this thing, it wouldn’t
be possible without implementing it from a scratch.
Almost all code related to ORDER BY + DELETE was
removed a long ago, only a few lines remained.
And even those lines haven’t been kept up to date
during numerous refactoring/reworking patches
(aka dead code). Hence, those tests are completely
useless and there is no chance that they will be turned on
again someday.
