CLARIFICATION: When I said that, I only meant that internally, the coding will continue to support it. This is a hidden thing. I did not mean to imply it would still be used. It will not, at least not in current-level pages -- the difficulty ratings will be as NRN posted above.

So keep it in the code, anyway?

Retaining "internal" backwards compatibility support, at least for now, achieves several things:


 * 1) smoother transition without pages breaking when the change to new rating system is made
 * 2) the old rating can be used on old versions, if we decide to, since it may be hard to 're-evaluate' a level that no longer exists.
 * 3) custom user pages can continue to use the old rating if desired
