I think in this context "Evergreen" also means subject to change without notice; i.e., what you click is what you get -- no need to worry about how the current wording of an Evergreen rule/policy/process might differ from an earlier version. And I think that is fine for many former parts of the Manual, especially those formerly included in the Admin section.
Of course, many other rules, especially those specific to the current game, are "Seasonal". Those rules are often the ones we expect to see changed, even improved, relative to earlier versions -- and they are the ones that I think teams and volunteers should expect to see discussed in Updates, Blog Posts, and some kind of version control in the Manual. And of course,
ad nauseum, here on our favorite CD fora.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
