If I'm cooling down, I will be watching my mirrors and adjusting my own pace to make sure I am off-line anytime someone needs to fly by me, or pick up my pace to not be in their way, until I can facilitate a pass.
It's similar to how beginners are taught that smooth is fast, but experienced drivers are anything but when driving at qualifying pace.
Or how beginners are taught two feet in...

I'd honestly always prefer they hold their line because if there's anyone in the advanced group practicing race situation passing, it kind of defeats the purpose. That's why NASA has 2 advanced groups. One for advanced HPDE folks who want to pass without point bys, and one for racers and time trialers to practice. The two differences between those groups really should be pace and etiquette. No one in HPDE-4 should be making room to pass on the inside like that. That's HPDE-3 stuff.
