That's business as usual.

It does make a difference when the merge window comes and we have to
synchronize when to send what. And we send tip stuff very early.

Considering how early it is in the game, I'd prefer if I queue those into tip
now and give you an immutable branch or tag and not worry about adding more
stuff ontop later.
