View submission: Making Redditing Simpler
Right now, the experiment is only live with a small percentage of redditors - we’ve been previewing it with our mod council and discussed similar questions there, keep your eyes on r/modnews for future updates.

I thought this was supposed to be an experiment, which is why it was surprising to see it as an announcement on r/reddit. It doesn't even say it's an experiment, it says the interface is being decluttered with a screenshot of it.
That's good to hear it's not necessarily the final design because there has been a lot of criticism on this one that hasn't been addressed. I don't see how an experiment is necessarily that helpful here, though.
For example, if you find there is no change in rule violations, does that mean it's as good as before? Or that the new design didn't solve an outstanding issue on mobile? Also, when you consider subreddit info contains more than just rules, it seems to be ignoring important use cases.
