I'm also negative on this idea.  If people don't want things published, name the
rule "T_" + something.  After development is done, remove the "T_" prefix and
publication happens if it's worthy.

So why do we need to add in a new tflag to give us the same behavior?

On the flip side, I can see the idea of "failing safely" -- ie: assume rules are
in testing, unless someone specifically says no.

IMO, people can just be expected to do the right thing and specify things in
testing versus those which aren't.


As for "If it's bad, there's no harm in it being left there" btw, that's not
necessarily a good way to look at it.  As much as "commit a rule and forget it"
makes things easy, there is a cost involved.  Specifically, all the
nightly/weekly runs will use all the rules, so having cruft all over the place
is not good.
