> You write "We used this option for combining the "maximum factor"/"maximum SCP" scoring functions from the ICAPS 2024 paper (https://ai.dmi.unibas.ch/papers/sievers-et-al-icaps2024.pdf) with the SCC merge strategy". Who is "we" and where did you use it? In that paper itself?
Yes, "we" was meant as "the authors of that paper". For the paper, we changed the SCC strategy to allow working on any SCC partition because that was a requirement for the "filter-based merge strategy", which would stop the M&S computation once it found that there is no more merge candidate that, when selected, would improve the M&S heuristic compared to stopping the M&S computation. When insisting to consider only one SCC partition at a time, that case would often occur quickly, even though other SCC partitions could potentially offer many more good merge opportunities.
The best configurations in the paper all use the new option. I also think that the new option feels more natural than the old one, but that is probably a question of personal preference.
> If this was used in something somewhere, it would be good to add this to the documentation.
It is used in the paper. I planned to add the reference only when integrating issue1172, where I want to integrate the actual new scoring functions, but I'm happy to include the paper reference already now, if you prefer.
