by reading the past mails here you will see that it is quite the
opposite. Also, the major wiki contributors agree using it, and same
goes in #blenderwiki channel.
We all use it as a safety net.

It is up to you to accept the sandbox for big changes, or not.


The 2.5 manual has been quite a playground for 2 years, and infact it is
now causing some headache rewiewing it, but once it'll be reviewed it
will have to follow the same sandbox mechanism.
