"3) once new data is into the system, begin pulling in new algorithms that have been waiting in the wings "

what kind of algo's are these. i mean when you have a clean new update based on a new algo...and all the spam filters are applied, what else are we left with?
I know there is a lot of stuff to consider with such a huge search engine, so i would assume it could be little bits and pieces (bugs i assume) in the new algo which will be clarified as step 3....and i hope this happens during every monthly update...correct?

another question:
i am not saying that the -sj results are bad or anything but i would like to know that why is that that -sj results which are not fully operational(spam filter havent being applied, contains old cache, old sites) are being brought live into the real world?..is it coz there is no other alternate to test the new algo?
