I have no idea if the SSDF is IN ANY WAY committed to testing CM8000. They have
not said so, and neither I nor the development team has asked them.

I have seen no COMPLETE solution to the few problems that still exist, but there
are still a few weeks before the patch comes out. As far as I know, there are
only two problems still remaining:

1) Promotions not being properly handled, and
2) Some engines not playing Black (haven't got any details on this one -- I just
heard about it).

Unfortunately, the development team does not have enough resources to test
something like this, so they are hoping that someone else can provide some data
that can lead to a solution (especially with problem #1, regarding the move
format that is being passed between engines, which CM8000 could easily handle if
the dev team knew what it was).
