the reason is bugs.

I read that Ruffian2.0.0 has bugs in pondering and is relatively weaker with
ponder on and Crafty19.17 has bugs (I am not sure that all of them are relevant
for bob who used it on ICC because Bob does not use it under windows but they
are relevant for most users).

Crafty19.17 is probably one of the weaker versions of Crafty in the last years
and all the tournaments that I saw suggest that it is weaker than 19.15
