Simon, This would introduce design complexity by the way that the user may
accidentally activate this gesture or fail to activate this gesture and
have negative consequences. It needs to be something that does not interact
with the current gestures, unless we're willing to drop an existing gesture
function to be replaced with this one. The beauty of Pin to Exit is that it
requires a short tap, then a tap which is held, then moving the finger in a
given direction. It would interfere with nothing existing, and probably
nothing in the future either, and it would allow for an aesthetically
pleasing removal of the top layer as the finger moves, gripping it. This is
as opposed to acting after the gesture is complete, in an irreversible
method.

Sincerely,
Josh
