there was some talk about it awhile back which summarized reply chain traversal as essentially being decently reliable but exploitable (infinite loops, etc.)


So chain traversal should have a hard cap for that reason, but ForumWG is also looking into recommending an alternative — resolvable context collections, in order to achieve backfill in a more performant manner.


The same security implications apply, however, so that's something that ought to be discussed as well.
