For me, and I suspect some others here, UCT has been used to mean the way of expanding out the most interesting node at a time, using light or heavy playouts that contain some random element. People now seem to be calling that MCTS (monte carlo tree search). UCT is also a specific algorithm to decide which node to expand next. I think this is the UCT Mogo no longer uses, but that it still uses MCTS. (I hope someone will let me know if not, as I'd then have to sit up and readjust my view of the universe :-).
