I noticed a while back a stepwise evolved HK.20.1 (Flip+S:G482R) that got S:S704L, now it is 18 and worth tracking it publicly.
Looking at the tree it is possible to spot 3/4 independent acquisition of S:S704L by HK.20.1 all very recent ( cc @angiehinrichs the tree seems solid here)

Despite not being big it has already got two/three sub-branches defined by spike mutations as S:V705I on the top , or S:K444M on the bottom:
