---------------------------------------------

Can you point me to a spot in code where step 5 happens?

> Gossip propagation has a race when concurrent VersionedValues are created and submitted/propagated, causing some updates to be lost, even if happening on different ApplicationStatuses.
> That's what happens basically:
> 1) A new VersionedValue V1 is created with version X.
> 2) A new VersionedValue V2 is created with version Y = X + 1.
> 3) V2 is added to the endpoint state map and propagated.
> 4) Nodes register Y as max version seen.
> 5) At this point, V1 is added to the endpoint state map and propagated too.
> 6) V1 version is X < Y, so nodes do not ask for his value after digests.
> A possible solution would be to propagate/track per-ApplicationStatus versions, possibly encoding them to avoid network overhead.
