Will you change the name of the engine or keep the old one? Also, may I ask what
the reasons are why you chose to use MTD(f) for your new engine? (I personally
think it's a fascinating search technique, but I'm a bit worried about search
instabilities - like getting a fail high and after a re-search getting a
fail-low)

A curious Sargon :)
