tak než vyjde ofiko experimental .63, bude vedle .62 nová větev pro veřejný stress testing serverů. Bude to .63 ořezaná o nějaké funkce, sledovat se bude vysoká koncentrace hráčů apod.

"No bullshit here, there are several factors you are over looking.
As Eugen pointed out very well in the report, the need for a stress test under high player load is required to isolate any potential issues that would cause an experimental push to come to a screeching halt.
So I'm sure you're wondering - why not just put that on the Exp branch? This must be some political manuevering!
Not quite. The intent here is to hope for the best, while planning for the worst. Lets say a critical issue -is- found that would require the team to dig in and triage the issue (and since we're talking in possibilities, rather than absolutes - not knowing what that issue may be, you also don't know exactly how long triage, and regression testing may be). The team will still need the experimental branch to be in a state they can issue hotfixes for .62 Stable.
.63 and .62 operate off of very different methods of the Central Economy - meaning the software & hardware within the Exp infrastructure would need to be updated (which, considering the massive differences isen't as easy as running a Windows MSI Installer package). With the Exp Central Economy running on .63 values, for lack of a better phrase - that branch is locked into .63 and no going back to .62 for any needed hotfixes while .63 Exp prep is under way.
Sure, the developer time could be spent on switching back and forth - but that is simply a waste of time and resources when a 3rd branch specifically for the stress test can be set up - without messing with the .62 Experimental branch and retain the ability to issue hotfixes to Stable unhindered.
TLDR; Its not a simple flick of a switch, and this is a much smarter way of approaching the needed test without causing extra unneeded work in the event of any serious problems."
