That's what happens AIUI.  42 remains 42 so new drafts will continue
with 43.  It's only renamed to ,42 upon success, and that's when it can
be trampled by later a ,42.

(Tangentially, I mentioned rmmproc isn't used for draft removal.  My
rmmproc renames 42 to .rmm/,42,`TZ=UTC date +%Y-%m-%d.%T.%N` to avoid
the default trampling.  This also avoids a large folder having even more
entries for readdir(3) to crawl through.)
