Hi everyone,

as you know, there are a number of really old bugs in our tracker about 
how certain things can cause total blockage, especially building big 
buildings. Think https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/566970

In that bug report, the discussion led to a solution that changes 
buildcaps so that buildings can only be built if the building does not 
cause the fields surrounding it to become disconnected.

I still believe that this is the sanest solution, but it does have the 
potential to break some maps that use a lot of "acid" terrain.

Is Widelands right now in a stage of the development cycle where such 
breakage would be okay, or should such a change be postponed until after 
a future release?

Cheers,
Nicolai
