Merges can now be undone.

Does anybody know - if a merge of a separate Tree to the World Tree is undone - is the Flag indicating whether part of the World Tree re-set as well - or is what were Profiles in a Separate Tree now officially marked as part of the World Tree, and subject to the rules thereof, even after an unmerge?

Lois, the UNDO merge tool is rough. It was apparently a difficult problem to solve programmatically and it was a long time in test; a reason it's a "curator only / on request tool" is it's still not really "ready for prime time," and whatever residue (such as correct management) is handled manually. It also takes a while to run, which indicates it takes not trivial computing resources.

I can't say for sure but I find it difficult to believe this script - or indeed any other I know of - is capable of undoing the "big tree = yes" flag (however it is actually written!).

If a separate standalone tree is desired, the MyHeritage platform is available, and transparency / portability between the two structures only improves as time goes on.

Hope this helps.
