Yes, I think it should still send the objects it has and then fail.

Maybe it doesn't work like this right now (I haven't checked), or
maybe the failure should be different than a regular failure. In those
cases I can maybe improve on that in a later iteration.

Yeah, I implemented fetching only what is still missing in v4.

I think we should make it best effort when acting as a promisor
remote. I will take a look at that.
