Stockfish and tablebases

#1 Currently it does not use syzygybases. I've only done testing with the 5-man version & I haven't yet tested every position (to determine optimal configuration settings).
#3 Yeah, but that introduces a programming challenge: how should the annotator indicate, "You missed a better move which draws according to the 50-move rule but only if your opponent defends perfectly?"
Player skill doesn't need to be a factor in the evaluation, does it? So if it the endgame tablebase is perfect, it's a good thing?
#4 : there's not a lot a signs one can use in annotation. It's clearly a "?" in regard of perfect play.
Don't lose your time with 5 pieces, 6 pieces are there for a long time.
