Great question.   On Feb 23rd, I had this exchange which John settled:

The current design has been in the draft since October, and we discussed
it on this list at great length.


R's,
John

Today, re-reading draft version 28, it says to use the top version.   I
missed when stop-first was chosen "after discussion at great length", and I
also seem to have missed the decision to switch back, presumably after
equally vigorous discussion?

Both approaches have problems.   Stop-at-last enables the walk to exit the
current organization and stop on a private registry, for both alignment
evaluation and for aggregate report transmission.   This is not a minor
problem, even if it is arguably infrequent.

Given that the problem with PSL is imperfect data, the solution is better
data.   Instead we have chosen a heuristic, and consequently we can be
certain of heuristic-induced harm.   We should give domain owners full
control over their organizational boundary, and stop guessing.
