It must have been a decision since Elizabeth was supposed to be protecting his heart as well as leading the Pirates' Brethren Court. I also don't see the logic in Bootstrap killing Norrington other than for dramatic effect. Elizabeth forgave him as he was a mindless shell of himself, but there still wasn't enough reason for a mindless drone to come to the conclusion that Norrington had to be killed.

Spoiler:

I'm sad that he had to die, too. But Bootstrap's mind was going-- all he could think of at that point was "Part of the ship; Part of the crew". Anyone getting caught letting others off the ship before they served their "time" would be punished. My guess-- if Norrington had already been a fish-person, getting stabbed wouldn't have killed him, and he'd be in the brig too, eventually becoming one with the ship as punishment. But that's just my guess. *shrugs*

I wonder what 'Rock Crab' tastes like.....
