 Yes I would.

 I was hoping to create a set of 500 problems in all ranges of 
difficulty. The problem has been that gnugo doesn't always do well on 
most of them, especially since the "right" answer is one that leaves the 
group with the best shape. So I can't really use gnugo to rate the 
problems.

 The current plan is that I'll probably randomly select 1000 problems 
based on GoTools difficulty estimate, and then winnow those down to 500 
by hand.
