If I may, I'd like to suggest making the changes relatively
quickly, since as we've found these things tend to take on
a life of their own. Once people start doing things one way,
it seems to be pretty hard to get them to change to a new
way at times. :-)
In some ways it's kind of clean to copy the a similar 20
random setting that SA 3.0 is using by default, though I
wouldn't mind hearing some comments from folks about this
also. (I'm not convinced it's necessarily the best algorithm,
just that it is one. ;-)
