churst asked this on irc, but forgot to make a jira for it


For example, say we pickEarly on scoreDiff 1hard/-999999999soft, then any move which improves the hard score is picked early.
But we can also pickEarly on scoreDiff 0hard/300soft, so any move which improves the soft score for 300 without disimproving the hard score is picked early.

I don't like the idea of the "-999999999", but stating 1hard/0soft would imply that the soft score can't disimprove, which in some use cases it will be allowed to do so.
