I don't have a strong opinion about the fact the EW scheme is changed
from (Gf,mz,α) to (mw,mz,α). I was just thinking that the new input
value of mw, instead of being hard-coded, could be taken from the UFO
(even though it is (Gf,mz,α) based, and therefore obtains it as a
derived quantity).
Cheers,
Gauthier

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for your answer.
