so you are suggesting that this type of match (the one I am running) will tell
us more about which version might more bugs or problems in certain area, i think
that is also very inetersting.
For Instance if we see a version 18.XX falling very behind in the group then we
can assume that that version might have some serious bugs, could be related
pondering, hash collition or such.
