...Combined with early indications at 7 TeV from ALICE [100] and CMS [101] that, likewise, confirm an undershooting by the models of the high-multiplicity tail, we observe that it may be particularly difficult to describe both the Tevatron and LHC data sets simultaneously and that more work in this direction would be fruitful....

...– Increased baryon transport from the beam remnant (though still less than the Perugia SOFT tune), motivated by p̄/p and Λ̄/Λ measurements performed by the ALICE [108] and LHCb experiments [109]....

...• Take into account some of the early lessons of LHC minimum-bias and underlying-event data at 900 and 7000 GeV: – Faster scaling of multiplicities with energy, motivated, e.g., by the ALICE [100] and ATLAS [102] min-bias charged multiplicity measurements....

...– Increased baryon production, especially of strange baryons (larger Λ/K ratio), motivated by identified-particle measurements by the ALICE [105,106] and CMS [107] experiments and by the p/π ratio measured by STAR [47]....
