No, the last step is a full self-consistent calculation.
The aim of the steps before the last one is just to produce
the files case.r2v and case.vrespum in the directory.
Without these two files, the MBJ SCF calculation would crash.

MBJ is recommended for semiconductors and insulators, but not
for metals.

The screened and unscreened hybrid functionals will be available
in the next release of the code.
