About Loom's "record"

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

says:

"Once you reach the top, you are fully updated to upstream, and
you've adjusted every thread to the new release. This is a good time
to record your loom, so that you can push the new release"

But before, it also says:

"If you push to an existing normal bzr branch, then the current
thread of your loom is what will be pushed. You can use this to
publish individual threads for people that do not have the loom
plugin."

So is "record" necessary for pushing or not?  If not, what's its
purpose?

Tschö,
Torsten.
