Currently signers will ignore any block responses received for a block proposal they have never seen. It would be better if block responses included the block being signed/rejected and the receiving signer immediately start processing the received block OR store these orphaned responses on the side and apply them after a block proposal arrives. This is not super important as the system will just propose a new block if not enough rejections/approvals arrive in time from the signers, but it may be worthwhile all the same.
