It was originally there because we were not sure that the "happens-before" relationship [1] between elements would be guaranteed. However, ForEachOrderedTask sets up such a relationship via completion counts to ensure leaf nodes complete in encounter order (if any) where only one leaf can be completing (which was left most leaf that was not completed), hence stamping a fence in the ground at these point seems redundant (at least i cannot see its value but could be missing something subtle).

I updated with some more comments explaining how the "happens-before" is preserved:
