My totally uninformed opinion:

As to mods (and letting us correct bugs), I highly doubt they would be allowed. I see this as a research project, and SCS/DARPA would require set variables to be observed during these trials.

You can't run an experiment and have each test subject playing by separate rules. It would negate any of your results.

I would also assume that they have already setup certain test parameters, and couldn't have the subjects changing things because we think it's they way it should work. Now, they would probably be very open to suggestions in this realm, and release patches that fixed issues as they are found, that way everybody would be playing with the same rule book.
