My view is that there is an extension if someone can demonstrate a 
reasonable algorithm for producing one, for some definition of 
"reasonable".

I've spoken about Ashford before, but to recap, I think it is very 
pleasant to view it as a single-hunt method which extends to all stages, 
odd and even. I think that ship has already sailed, unfortunately. Your 
twin-hunt Major method does look nice, though - I'd be happy to call 
that Ashford.
