I think if there's a job that can insert a filter above the 'base' node
then we have a problem.

I was checking the tests that run commit and stream in parallel in 030,
but they do commit on the upper images and stream on the lower ones, so
that's safe. I'll try to run them the other way around because we might
have a problem there.
