I agree, but as I said, what happens when the add the camera support of last year? The creators know better than anyone what is needed and what is just demostration. If you're not the creator, you have to create your stripped down/reorganized code each year.

Perhaps we could compromise: release the default code a few weeks before kickoff, provided it doesn't reveal the game. Then, people would have time to create "preferable" versions of it.
