Reid Hochstedler commented on MATH-772:
---
A use case, for greater than two parents during crossover would be the [Three
parent
crossover|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_(genetic_algorithm)#Three_parent_crossover]
described on wikipedia. However, I don't believe that is a common use case, so
I've reworked my patch to only allow for 2 parent crossover. I have however
kept the change to the SelectionPolicy API, my thinking is that allowing a
larger pool of potential parents allow for more diversity.
> Change genetics component API to allow for different types of
> CrossoverPolicys and SelectionPolicys.
