Ok, now you are nitpicking IMHO :P Beta 1 is not about fine tuning. Its about fixing any crash bugs before release. Things like these...... I'd say leave until beta 2 or beta 3. One of them can be a graphical and user interface upgrade release or something.

Right now I think the focus is on finding bigger bugs and fixing them so that the new map headers, yog engine, and updated game gui can be tested by all Globulation 2 players.

Post these small things on http://globulation2.org/wiki/Things_to_do_before_1.0.0  under the heading beta 2. Depending on whether Brad thinks they are important or not, they'll either be in beta 1, be in beta 2, or be pushed to beta 3.
