Correct. The current implementation preserves the sequence number. But it's an implementation detail, the user of the api will never have to work with the sequence numbers directly.

It may be "only an implementation detail" in that the user of the API never deals with the sequence number.

But this detail is critical to avoiding the risk of permanent starvation of some thread.
