However, do you think it is enough for changing phase of >proram (I mean there is no difference for changing play's style)? I don't think you want a clean "edge" on this boundary.

Because the search can direct itself to positions right along the boundary and produce some odd scoring results. This is often called a "discontinuity" in the evaluation and is a bad thing.
