Here's a somewhat similar decision I was faced with recently.
Normally, when participating in threads started by others, I
post a rollout immediately, but Paul seems to be implicitly
requesting that I not do so, so I'll give people a chance to
respond to this one before posting my rollout.

This position is a good example of how XG's containment play
in such situations isn't very good. A rollout with stronger
settings (see below) declares this position to be a clear pass.

So I was surprised to see you post a rollout immediately with no solving opportunity.
But I didn't make a request about this in any way. In fact, my surprise was (very mildly)
positive because I felt less alone in the way I'd been posting.
