Ok, I've not been reading all the mails dealing with this problem.
But I think it's time to go forward and design new units. Some of us
want Freeciv to develop and separate from CivI/II rules, some want a
CTP mode, some want a Freeciv mode. I vote for the last one. Let's
design new features instead of only changing the ruleset or the
existing units. We need fresh air !
