An interesting question. Maybe some units should have science upkeep
as well, but you'd probably have to rebalance and redesign large parts
of the game to get it all to work; you'd also have to either issue a
warning if units were being produced that cost science to maintain, or
you'd have to make the unit cost as many science as shields to
produce, so a city could not produce such a unit without a science
surplus

IMHO, haters of smallpox should first start out by choosing a smaller
foodbox, because I think it would lead to larger cities and this the
desire to have less overlap.
