Details:
There's two problems I've been thinking about
1) Many people like the experimental ruleset as it currently is. urther
treating it as sandbox for any kind of rule experiments may break it for
them.
2) Experimental ruleset has originally been based on classic ruleset, and now
freeciv's default ruleset is civ2civ3. We would want experimental ruleset
derived from the default ruleset (and document delta between these two)
The solution I've come up with is that we stop updating current experimental
for the sole purpose of experimenting (only update it to make improvements to
it) and start a new ruleset derived from civ2civ3 for experimenting. I'd hope
to rename the experimental ruleset to reflect the fact that it's then no
longer what the name claims, but don't know yet how to do that in respect to
savegame compatibility (anyway, as 'ruleset item obsolescense' -feature has
already been planned for 3.0, this hopefully gets resolved). But even if
current experimental ruleset gets renamed out of the way, I would give the new
ruleset different name for less confusion over what ruleset one is referring
to. The name I propose is 'sandbox'.
