PKP-RO isn't a new issue.

The initial draft of PKP-RO was claimed to "follow the same syntax and
semantics of the Public-Key-Pins header" [1].

But the text was unclear.  When we discussed this in February Ryan
proposed to not store PKP-RO pins [2,3].  Myself, Daniel Kahn-Gillmor,
and Tom Ritter proposed to store them [4,5,6], and Chris added text
for this [7,8,9,10].

I later discussed other cleanup of the PKP-RO text [11].  As part of
that Chris changed some of the wording to *not* store PKP-RO pins
[12].  I pointed out the discrepancy and that "I thought we decided
the opposite" a couple times [13,14], but there was a misunderstanding
and he changed things more towards *not* storing PKP-RO [15].  A
couple days after you declared "this working group has done as much as
we can", and further discussion would be "counter-productive" [16].

But I still think storing PKP-RO would be better, and seemed to be the
group's preference.
