Hey - can I make the `end` step my join step, if I am doing a <https://docs.metaflow.org/metaflow/basics|branch >pattern like so?

I am just arbitrarily writing some final info with my branches, so joining is not really required, but just confirming that I technically need to do it for the flow to complete successfully ?

currently you need a separate join step and an end step

one reason why an unambiguous `end` step is required is that it's easy to say that a run has completed successfully when the `end` step has completed successfully

with dangling branches determining completion would require checking the status of all branches

would be nice if we could specify what the start/end steps actually are.. in SFN there's already a pointer to the start
