We currently have a HLT2 draft config here: MooreOnline!174 (merged). The idea is to "burn" (the input data will be lost) a few short runs with these settings tomorrow to further test the full chain to sprucing via DIRAC. I assume longer runs will wait for this and potentially other developments?
For more mechanical tests like you describe it it is not really needed, but for runs we want to do alignment and potentially physics with the looser configuration makes sense.
But I actually believe deploying such a config can be rather quick, it is a few educated guesses in a few algorithms, and there is not much to lose, as timing is not really an issue at the moment. So I'd like to get this done in a 1 or 2 days.
