pyosmium-get-changes - Write changes to header

[FaFre]

I was wondering why pyosmium works with a separate sequence-file and not writing directly into to the osmium-header (especially because it is also using it as a reference when provided with -O). My downloaded changes via pyosmium didn't contain a timestamp, nor a sequence in the header. It would be a single source of truth, and the header info could be also taken over with osmium apply-changes.

Is this something that hasn't simply being done yet, or does it have a reason?

I used pyosmium 3.1.3.

Never had the use case for it. It wouldn't hurt to do it but it only work with diff files in pbf format.
