This follows the "forwarder is payment aggregator" argument, which is that the forwarding node is in the business of aggregating multiple small payments via the shortest path (through their own node) and using longer paths to ensure their shortest-path channels remain balanced. In order to earn, the forwarding node depends on the base fee and not the proportional fee. #56 (comment)
This is not an alternate to #59 or #61 , I will likely merge this in regardless, but it might be useful for others to actually have a look at it and check if the logic in the "forwarder is payment aggregator" argument makes sense.
