Configuring XG Rollouts - suggestion

"Now that XG has a feature where you can stop the rollout automatically when it reaches statsig, the problem is solved for many rollouts. Just set it at a high number...if it doesn't stop before it reaches that number, the difference is probably trivial (at least for me) anyway."

I find it annoying that the predefined rollout configurations do not allow you to set this. As far as I can tell, if I want to use the standard 3-ply VR setting but just want to tell it to stop at 99% confidence, I can't; I have to define an entirely custom rollout in order to do this.

It seems to me that the choice of what plys to use for the rollouts and the guidelines of when to stop the rollout should be separate. It could have preconfigured and custom "stop settings" just like "ply settings", with one of them selectable as a default.

The rollout setup screen could then be nothing more than a place to define custom ply configurations and custom stop configurations and establish which ones of each should be defaults. Then when going to actually run a rollout, the prompt box for how many games to run (max) should also include drop lists to choose the ply setting and stop setting to use, with the defaults shown. Normally, you'd just hit enter to start the rollout with default settings, but if you want to change any of these, it would be easy to do so from these lists without having to go through a whole setup process.
