Adding the "science" tag because it does prevent certain specific experiments from being run.

[samsrabin]

Fire should not happen in SP cases. Namelist defaults XML file should set nofire in such cases. Build namelist script should allow user to set that manually as well.

This has been fixed in the namelist at least by ctsm5.4.021
