Yes, but right now, we cannot seem to satisfy all of our principles,
so it is a matter of deciding what's best for this iteration.

We proposed that as well, and I am fine with that approach too. But
we have to bear in mind that we will be missing some location in
some (corner only?) cases.

So, for now, either approach is fine with me, maybe with a slight
preference for possibly accepting more locations in order to avoid
missing some. So prefer keeping the previous the previous heuristic,
which I think makes sense as well - no surprise in a way. What do
others think?
