The centrality of sealings?
Serious thought: Those who die before reaching the age of eight need no proxy ordinances, save sealing to parents. Maybe it’s sealing that’s hypercentral, and all the other sorts of things (priesthood ordination, baptism, and so on) are necessary only insofar as they allow sealings of parents and children to be efficacious. I may be completely wrong, of course, but it’s an intriguing line of thought (especially since those who die as small children don’t even need to be sealed to a spouse, apparently).

When Jamie and I were married the temple matron told me that what happens on the 6th floor (DC temple, of course, so sealings) is the most important thing and everything else we do are to allow those to happen. We must be sealed to a spouse, but anyone not married during their life doesn't get sealed to a spouse at this point because there is no one to seal them to other than their parents, but will be sealed to someone eventually.
