Subject: Stop miniupdate nonsense!

Author: Jouni Uski

Today it's more a rule than exception: when new program is released it's takes
only couple of weeks until first update is available. And the new engine
should be spectacularly much better than old. This is almost always pure
nonsense. After SSDF has played some hundreds games with new engine the truth
is seen: may be new engine is 5-10 points stronger than old or maybe even less.

My wish: no updates with less than 30 points REAL rating increase :-)
