We might consider more drastic changes as well, like using 64-bit
Zobrist hashes to identify the patterns. It could also be an idea to
distribute the patterns in a compressed format rather than .db format.
(It should of course be possible to unpack to .db format, either as
part of the build or only for inspection.)

Do you know if the joseki(?) in 616, 649, 714 appears in professional
games, although in other full-board contexts?

Personally I don't mind if GNU Go plays these five moves.
