At the time a subscriber copies over data from the origin (not from another subscriber), it actually sees all tables in a state somewhere between two SYNC events. Therefore this list contains all action sequences that are visible, and therefore their operation already included in the data copied, at the time the initial data copy is done, so that those actions can be filtered out during the first SYNC after subscribing.
