When a game is added to the regression directory and tuned against
the amount of time spent adding it and giving it a name (a couple
of minutes) is insignificant compared with the amount of time you
spend making up tests for it and tuning against those tests.

Tuning material is very ubiquitous. There is so much of it that
indiscriminately adding every game or even a measurable percentage
of all completed games is not feasible.

GNU Go has played 8596 games as B and 9270 games as W on NNGS.

Automatically adding these games to the regression tarball is not
something we should be doing. Isn't this obvious?
