Hi Alex, re: maxscope, making the default 3 had seemed like a sensible idea at the time because that's currently the most general class of grammar that Moses can efficiently decode with, but I can see how it came as a surprise. Sorry about that.
Unless anyone objects, I'll change the default for extract-rules (the hierarchical rule extractor) because of the potentially-surprising way that it trumps other user settings, but will probably leave it as it is for extract-ghkm.
