I feel we need to give ourselves that freedom, or we'll be unable to test some
new features.
(So probably there should be a notice in 'sandbox' description from the start,
once we've decided on the exact policy.)

What form will this take?
If we have 'sandbox' in 2.6, and maybe-incompatible rules also called
'sandbox' in 3.0, and someone takes it upon themselves to maintain a
compatible 'sandbox2.6' ruleset for 3.0, will that ruleset be able to declare
itself able to load games for ruleset 'sandbox' that were saved by 2.6?
