Doesn't this just boil down to "newbies shouldn't run unreleased
software"? Which is considered simple common sense in most

I'd recommend that pages telling you how to install them *also* point
out that this is bleeding edge stuff, may have problems or be hard to
install, and if you're not prepared to deal with those and provide
feedback on them, you'd best go back to the released software.
