Whenever a new Wiggle or Shake algorithm gets posted only people should have the choice whether to use the old or new one and play around with it.
That way you get better data about whether the algorithm is really an improvement.

The BETA should run for more than a day or two, to give people plenty of chances to test the new functions or how the changes in existing functions/algorithms have affected game play.
However, until the process of switching to and from BETA is improved, only the few regulars who know how to do it safely will participate. It should be made possible to have the MAIN and BETA installed and running at the same time, without having to do the save/restore file system shuffle.
BETA also draws precious folding time away from competition puzzle work.
