But one of the points of the tree walk is that for the first time it gives 
us a well-defined algorithm that everyone can use to get the same answer.

I realize that the PSL works OK, mostly, we think, give or take its daily 
updates and no agreement about whether you use the whole thing or just the 
nominally more official first part.  I don't see why we would want to make 
things worse.
