From Grant Cooper
Annoyingly it's almost impossible to buy a lipo cut off that sets off at 50% as they're all designed for planes etc that reset to 0%. The only ones suitable as a cut-off are the ones built into ESC's. As this isn't a safety issue at all and purely helps the cycle life of the battery I think it would be worth putting that as a recommendation rather than a regulation.
