📝 Original message:
To add some context to this, if you start accepting HTLC's for the new
balance after the parallel commitment is made, but before the re-anchor is
buried, there's the potential for a race condition between a unilateral
close (or any revoked commitment transaction) and the re-anchoring
commitment transaction, that spends the 'pre-committed' UTXO of splicing in
funds and the original funding transaction.

You can get around this by waiting until both the pre-commitment UTXO and
the re-anchor have cleared a minimum depth before accepting HTLC's for the
new balance totals, but that's twice as long of a wait as the first,
synchronized re-commitment scheme that Rusty originally proposed.

It also makes leaving the original funding transaction 'exposed' (ie Rene's
version of parallel splice) untenable, as there's always the risk of an old
state being published to consume that input. This foobars your current HTLC
commitments.
