You are missing the forest for the trees. Please replace "cvsups" with "somehow obtains". The point of the suggestion was to externalize the "it's good" token from the tree representation. Other than adding that I'd like to see the "it's good" token checked into the tree somewhere as well so there is an "it's good" history (the token approach relies on the idea that the tree itself does not have to be kept "good"), I have to agree that this is a workable, if suboptimal, fix for the problem.
