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 a timestamp, and then proceeds to accept a different one
with the same timestamp. 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.
