[Wesnoth-dev] What to do with the Advanced Tab

[Nils Kneuper]

Hi Everyone!
Just came across the issue of the advanced tab. I think it does not
fit into the rest of the preferences. Is there really a need to have
it? If yes, do we need to have it this way? There already was a
discussion about this some time ago (end of May). I just wanted to
know if there has yet been a dissiccion about it. Majestyk had some
points in his mail:

I think the advanced tab is not the way it should be in a final 1.0
release. But changing to to something that would fit into 1.0 could
need string changes. Because we are close to a string freeze, a
dissicion about this should be made very very soon.
I would speak in favor of leaving it out of the game. What do you
think about this issue?
