I'm not crazy about the idea of scoring changing dramatically. I think people need to be able to specify the scoring style and have it always score that way.
Indicies change size and composition over time, making it difficult to predict when one would be hit with wildly different scoring (and most wouldn't know it was even a possibility). Now if scoring stayed the same (if there was a disable_idf flag in BooleanScorer), then that would change the analysis. I personally don't see tf as important in PrefixQueries (although people should still be able to instantiate the current implementation...)
