This. There's so much in software development that relies on guarantees that can only be upheld by behavior like this that I _sincerely_ doubt that anyone having issues with skipped rows is in the right place.
There are arguments for and against any technique, but this one seems really ridiculous to me, especially if you consider what any "countermeasure" would do to the code (which is usually much more important than the data in the long run!).
