Yes, sorry about that. I didn't mention it explicitly in the bug report
it was described in more details in the linked article.

IMO we are good here. At least on lsp-mode side we were able to
implement delayed semantic fontification as a result of async source.
But in lsp-mode case we are reseiving the messages from the server on
