I restricted myself to changes that can be done with only changes to the data 
directory, since I figured that would help an experimental directory get in
sooner.  However, once it is in, as long as the change is optional 
(as in it can be done by setting a variable in the game.ruleset file, or 
similar) then it can be added to experimental with out all the problems 
associated with changing the default game.

I completely agree.
