The move of the levels doesn't matter. It is the new XML schema that 
evolves over a period of time until it will be stabilized for the next 
offical release. Thus scoring XML files in r100 may look quite different
to those of r150.

That may change with the next release.

For me the most valuable information of the scores is knowing which 
levels I have solved to not play them again.
