Don't they already do that minus the pbp? Unless there are some details missing from historical (I only play this as an occasional side game for nostalgia and Silvam's stadiums and unis), I am unaware of?
That leaves adding the new rules as they come in, which is what has been done, along with toggles. Yes, it means a lot of toggles, because players want the flexibility to add/remove them from whatever game they want. Maybe I'm missing your meaning on era specific rules?
For pbp, I guess, they could make it so users could save as many different pbp files as they wanted and then select the proper one for the era they are playing in. I think, going forward this would be possible without a lot of work? IE create pbp save slots and then make the few additions to cover new rules as we move forward? While retroactive pbp edits, additions, fixes would be left to modders? I'm thinking retroactive would be a much bigger time sink and question the cost/benefit for the number of users that, would use it?
Certainly a topic worth discussion, and yes I may have totally missed your point with my thoughts and assumptions?
