This is called "covering your ass" :-). We'd rather have folks cautious
than unwisely using the development track "because its cool".

HOWEVER, trying the development track _is_ cool. Try it on a crash box
sometime and make your own decisions. Things are different, and the
pace of change is fast, but I like it that way.
