I just checked a recent refmac job and it seems that in the output mtz
the <Fobs> has indeed changed.  what's more interesting, the number of
missing reflections has changed too (disturbingly, it decreased so that
the dataset looks more complete 97.07% to 97.17% in this case).

But if the same overall anisotropic B scaling is done every time, there
seems to be no harm, right?
