Is the implicit get that concourse does after a put is necessary for this resource to work? or could it be skipped?

I've had a look at the source code and there seems to be no way to use something similar to the get_params: {skip_download: true} of the docker image resource to skip the implicit get step (please correct me if I'm wrong).

In my case, I'm running 4 "checks" concurrently and at first glance, the get that is always executed after I update the checks status (with put) seems unecessary... Would it make sense to check for a "skip" in the in step?
