I have often seen, and generally recommend putting a small screwlink between the croll and half round under the premise that one should always be capable of removing a jammed ascender from the rope without having to remove/compromise the integrity of your seat harness. If you jam the croll (personally seen it happen twice in a little over a year) and don't have this link, you have no way to remove it from the rope without opening your half round on rope.
It's the same reason you would never put a QAS or cowstail directly on your harness without using a biner.
Because of the twist of the croll, proper orientation is maintained. The small hit in efficiency is well worth the extra safety IMO.
