The problem is, -RELEASE is pushed out like a new release of a
commercial OS, with big announcements, etc. etc., so people expect it
to have been subject to a similar level of prerelease beta testing.
Clearly this is not and cannot be the case, and IMHO therefore it
should not be labeled -RELEASE, but -EARLYACCESS or similar.
