We have obligations that extend beyond simply presenting a "best" model.
In an ideal world, the PDB would accept two coordinate sets and two sets of statistics, one for the last step where the cross-validation set was valid, and a final model refined against all the data. Until there is a clear way to do that, and an unambiguous presentation of them to the public, IMO, the gains won by refinement against all the data are outweighed by the Confusion that it can cause when presenting model and associated statistics to the public.
