Could not a game component like research formulas be migrated to the stable version of the game ? With mod adjustment to the change ?

If you wait long enough, the stable version of the game will be migrated to 0.17. :P

That's exactly what they are doing, but each change is not modular or self contained, so when 17 becomes stable you get it all at once. That way they don't have to run multiple experimental rings either.

There is no such thing as testing in Dev, then moving to an older prod version without more testing.
