Just to be clear: for 2015, we have decided to limit the scope of
SMT-COMP to the (usual) main track and application track. We are
currently adding new benchmarks in these tracks to SMT-LIB. The
competition will also feature other novelties, e.g., a parallel ranking
in addition to the usual sequential ranking -- see the rules at
http://smtcomp.sourceforge.net/2015/ for details.

I do believe that broadening the scope of SMT-COMP to again include
further tracks, e.g., an unsat core track or a proof track, would be
desirable. This will not happen for 2015 -- we decided to focus our
attention elsewhere, also because the community did not express strong
interest in such tracks. But I would encourage next year's organizing
team to revisit this issue, and perhaps recruit a volunteer who is
willing to create the necessary StarExec infrastructure.

Best,
Tjark
