I am wary of using arguments along the lines of "CEV<not everyone> is better for everyone than CEV<everyone>". If calculating based on a subset happens to be the most practical instrumentally useful hack for implementing CEV<everyone> then an even remotely competent AI can figure that out itself.

I would still implement the CEV<subset> option but I'd do it for real reasons.
