The rule is: if the aisle is clear, and you have your things in your hand, please start walking forward, even if people in the rows ahead of you are still collecting their things. This frees up the aisle further back and lets more people organize their things, speeding up deplaning.
If you're the one letting everyone exit before you, you're not being polite, you're slowing the rest of us down unnecessarily.
People who don't wait for those in the rows ahead to exit but try to barrel and push past so that they can exit first. Luckily, most PAX in US follow normal deplaning rules of behavior. ^
*I have found that most geriatics and invalids stay in their seats until after everyone deboards.
