I wonder if should be trying to drop duplicates at all. I think that
doing that made a lot more sense before payloads existed.
The docs said that the system "can" drop duplicates, so making it no
longer do so would be backwards compatible.
Maybe drop duplicates where the payload was the empty string, but keep
them otherwise?
