that is a tricky one.  for jPDL 4 we could review this choice.  but i'm leaning towards keeping as is.  if you show a diagram with a fork and an end-state in one of the branches, I would guess that a majority assumes the rest of the process will not be cancelled.

introducing this was related to auto-completion.  i believe that was triggered by vanderaalst patterns.  a process should finish when there is nothing left to do.   there is some logic that each time a token ends, it checks if there is some parent token still active.  if not, the process instance is ended.
