Ahh ok, I wasn't aware that the stuff in the tree had been changed.

I've found that a promotion by three steps felt better than just
promoting by two steps, but this is a very subjective thing and it
obviously depends on the size of the steps.

A good strategy might be to let the decay remain at one, but make
the promotion be controllable from the command line.
