This is fundamentally how we say "this is the first cylinder you
used", unless that first cylinder is the actual first culinder.

In other words, if you start with EAN32, and it's the second cylinder
you have defined, then that gas change event is literally how we mark
that fact. So it's not "unwanted". It's telling you which cylinder you
started with.

In the profile, I think we hide gas changes happening in the first 30
seconds or so, so it shouldn't actually be visible there.
