Brilliant links, thank you!

An FAI will always have more rules to follow ("do not eat the ones with life on them") and I just don't see how these would have advantages over a UFAI without those restrictions.

Among the six possibilities at the end of Armstrong and Sandberg's analysis, the "dominant old species" scenario is what I mean - if there is one, it isn't a UFAI.

A UFAI would well have more rules to follow, but these rules will not be as well chosen. It's not clear that these rules will become negligible.
