I just took the existing SM2 algorithm as it is. It is quite possible that what you propose makes more sense, but then, my intention is only to change the algorithm significantly once a statistically relevant analysis of all the gathered indicates that that is the way to go.
At the moment, I'm focusing on 2.0, though, as opposed to analysing the logs.
