I don't know.  IE prior to the finish of the 'qualifier' I don't see how rules
could have been agreed to since no one knew which program would win.  But if the
rules say the same version must play Kramnik that played DJ, then I would
personally say "shove it" and do something else if I were the programmer(s).
