My 2 cents:
I could care less if someone else rolls their ball behind the divot that 'should have been repaired'. I leave it up to the individual to decide if the divot is nasty enough to warrant a move. I'll play mine from where it is or take a 'unplayable'.
Here's something to ponder: It's late fall and you stripe one right down the middle. You get to where your ball should be and all you see is leaves everywhere and can't find it. You know it's under a leaf somewhere but can't find it. Everyone in your group knows and acknowledges it 'should be right here'. Grounds crew should have done a better and/or more recent cleanup of the leaves. Do you go back and hit 3 off the tee or drop some guesstimated spot and play on?
Sh!t happens by nature or by ground crews or by lazy golfers. So unless your at 'The Hideaway' this situation will come up pretty well every round.
