Why not just use a solution setting that doesn't involve the boost
control cutout?  I'd think that a "flat out" solution would be most
likely wrong anyway -- that's where engines are going to vary the most
between installations.  Choosing anything at the edge of a performance
envelope and expecting the conditions to hold in the middle is always
problematic.  What's wrong with using a cruise value for the cruise
solution?

As I read it, though, your patch is currently a noop.  All it does is
add a new configuration option and adjust the handling of the
wastegate in a way that will never make a difference in practice
(skipping the wastegate handling for superchargers is irrelevant --
supercharged engines already have a very high wastegate setting that
cannot be reached by an engine, running or not).

I'm not arguing against it in principle.  I'm just saying that I'm
going to wait until we have a real issue that needs to be solved;
using the _running boolean (which just indicates whether fuel is being
burned) is not the right mechanism long-term.  Can you explain again,
really carefully, exactly what behavior this patch gives you that you
need right now?
