I am not sure that is helpful w.r.t what Peter is looking for as that
is saying what code is doing and he wants to know why it is so? I
think one can understand this by looking at get_partition_ancestors
which will return the top-most ancestor as the last element. I feel
either we can say see get_partition_ancestors or maybe explain how the
ancestors are stored in this list.
