You're not the only one.  I'm also in favor of (A).  I have also
carefully laid out the chain that Marjorie's following on at least one
(and probably several) past occasions.  It seems sound to me.  An
initiator that has lost its mind (this might be an OS reboot, or
`simply' a fat adapter crash & restart) is going to want to stomp out
any existing sessions in its name.  It's not going to want to pick up
old context unless it's aware that there IS old context, in which case
it hasn't completely lost its mind.

I've been keeping my mouth shut in hopes that it would actually pass,
but I guess I don't have to articulate a position so much as just hold
it to ensure it gets killed.  Given my track record, I'm now for sale
to the highest bidder.
