Uhm... could you please elaborate more which situations you are describing?
I can think of:

a - b - c
 \ /
  d

in which someone could be interested in having:

a - b
 \ /
  d - c'

However, I'd like to see how it goes with the first patch and, if nothing
strange (e.g., corner cases I did not consider)
happens, we might relax this constraint a little more.

Cheers,
Stefano
