I don't see what is gained by converting CGOS to Japanese rules.  You
lose the ability for programs to play out disputes and instead depend on
a 6k computer program (typical KGS rank for GnuGO) to resolve disputes.
It's also a needless complication for bot authors that aren't concerned
about Japanese rules.  If you want to implement Japanese rules for your
program, great.

This discussion has been had many times on this list.  What's the new
compelling argument for having it again?
