I do not understand why this would be so important. Why not simply
restart the mud after you made some extensive changes? Every other
mud that I have played had, at some point in time, a test game up,
that was used for new ideas. If they worked out they were incorpo-
rated in the actual game, if not, they were discarded. Seems much
more sensible to me to do things that way.
