Reverse seeding (USA)

Will someone please explain why the subject of "reverse seeding" for
the Region 9 contest at Parowan keeps coming up. Regionals are
Regionals, and Regionals are for the contest pilots that live in the
region. Others are welcome to come if the contest is not filled.
Applicants from the contest region have priority based on seeding, not
reverse seeding. Applicants from outside the region also have
priority based on seeding, not reverse seeding.

Has it ever been any different?

Is this an issue for Parowan because someone outside the region chose
to organise a regional contest there?
