I don't agree that server variables and rulesets should be in same file.
In most cases IMHO, player would like to keep rulesets unmodified and
change only server local variables. Then when they will upgrade or
change to some funky ruleset all things like timeouts,max number of
player etc will stay the same. Of course there are some things that
cross the border, like map generation, but for things like security it
should be kept in ruleset independent file.
