Yes, but if you have many counters in a row:

   1. If you specify a timestamp, they will have the same timestamp, but
   different revisions
   2. If you dont specify the timestamp, they will have same
   timestamp+revision, but different compared to each other

While i was talking about having the same timestamp/revision across all the
cells (so the timestamps/revisions from different cells will be compressed
together on that cell-block).
