No, my point in making white box to go back to the end of the quiz
in normal builds was to help people reach the text following the
quiz.
So linking white box to a quiz at the end of the chapter spoils
this purpose.  A page-number marker can be far away from the white
box when the answer is long.

I'm OK with your pushing it as is.
