------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this would be fine, I need to think through why I did not do this
originally, as I did consider it. It may simply have been to minimise the
change in semantics to {{system.paxos}}, without there having been any
particularly good reason. Perhaps also for debugging purposes, it helps to be
able to see whether something had been promised before it was
accepted/committed.
I think there is perhaps also some additional complexity when a replica has
promised a ballot with the same timestamp, and then proceed to accept it. I
don't think we would resolve these reliably, so we might not actually overwrite
it anyway, and I don't think there is a trivial solution to this problem in the
storage layer. I'm not certain if this would actually cause problems, but it
would require some careful consideration to rule it out.
