Maybe if you change the name from Fruit to something else, the CB GUI won't
weakened it. That would only happen if CB deliberately intended to weaken Fruit,
though.

Maybe it has some other way of detecting if the engine is Fruit?

Is the weakening aimed specifically at Fruit alone or are other engines also
weakened?
