I'm thinking that for short reads, the value of min-set-cov is more in the aggregation of "what is the bulk of reads going to map to best", rather than individual reads. for long reads, might be a way to pick a contig to map to? probably something that's already done with the minimizer etc approaches that mashmap and so on already use...
