I sincerely hope that "not fully productized" is not marketing-speak for
"let us know if this happens to work".
If I choose to install something off of freshrpms, I don't feel bad if
it ain't quite there yet. I need some reasonable level of functionality
in a distribution (or at least some way to distinguish core/dependable
from alpha/experimental). Missing features is one thing; stuff that
just doesn't work is another. I like to choose where I waste my time ;-)
Surely you wouldn't intentionally dilute the quality of the free (beer)
edition just to pump up the value of the 'enterprise' editions? Well, I
can't say I'd blame you if you did. Good QA is worth real $$.
