That's good info. It's a tough call -- matching a known package is always
nice. However I agree that a weighted split is a little more theoretically
sound (don't have a reference on that though). I'd support this change, myself.
It sounds like we won't find an exact match to the R GBM behavior except when
each split has equal numbers of classes on either side.
