Have you mailed Aron about it? The fact that he resigned as maintainer doesn't 
mean he can't have an opinion to give about your patch.

The rest of us here can't really help much, unless someone is a strong bovo 
player (that i'm not) and wants to try with new AI to see if he sees any 
difference.

Besides that, if you could make the AI selectable i would not see any problem 
in commiting a patch that enables the use of any of the two (which should be 
the default is a different story :D)
