[gnugo-devel] hash flag bits and -H option

User-agent: EMH/1.14.1 SEMI/1.14.3 (Ushinoya) FLIM/1.14.2 (Yagi-Nishiguchi) APEL/10.3 Emacs/21.3 (sparc-sun-solaris2.9) MULE/5.0 (SAKAKI)

In gnugo.h there's a FIXME about hash flag bits,

/* hash flag bits 
 *
 * Regarding HASH_DEFAULT:
 * Hashing all functions saves time, but wastes table space, which is
 * bad when the reading is complicated. HASH_DEFAULT is a compromise. 
 *
 * FIXME: This is no longer true with the newer transposition table
 *        and its fancy replacement scheme. We can now hash everything.
 */

In fact there doesn't seem to be much reason to keep the hash flag
bits and the -H (--hash) option around any longer at all. Would
anybody miss them if they were removed?
