In the light of this I wonder about the wisdom of including
6.5.0 dp1 in the upgrade offers.
Why?
Because when something appears as an update notice folks start
thinking it's an actual upgrade and not a caveat-developer alpha build
replete with a cautionary note that only appears in the list notice
and not in the update mechanism.
Exactly. My clients don't read anything, they just accept upgrades. I
had to warn them not to. In its current state, 6.5 is not appropriate
for them to use, and they aren't knowledgeable enough to know whether
the problems they'll have are my fault or the engine. They hardly know
the difference.
So I agree that very early releases shouldn't go out to everyone
indiscriminately. Rather than implement some sort of toggle switch, it
might be easier to just announce them on the lists and forums, where
people will have read the warnings before deciding what to do. Those who
aren't involved in the community won't know that there may be problems,
and likely aren't the best testers anyway.
