I do not think we have discussed anything resembling the current
approach. And I would really appreciate some more examples where
decisions based on leaf nodes would be EXACTLY WRONG.

And nobody is objecting to this usecase. I think we can build a priority
policy on top of leaf-based decision as well. The main point we are
trying to sort out here is a reasonable semantic that would work for
most workloads. Sibling based selection will simply not work on those
that have to use deeper hierarchies for organizational purposes. I
haven't heard a counter argument for that example yet.
