Is it normal that this.stopped = false appears at the end of publish and not the start?

[Mica4DEV]

Let's say we have a call to

channel.publish('something', true);

And we want to know just after we want to know if the propagation has been stopped, is that normal that

this.stopped = false;

appears at the end of the publish method, instead of at the top of it? (as initialization?)
