Again, it's not about preventing Louis or anyone else to release an
alpha, beta or whatever it is called based on m2 or m3 the point is
that the Apple download page Louis refers to is a page where the
user awaits a *final* and not a software which, even if he only
uses 20%, crashes because he sadly is one of those users who uses
those 20% which 80% never use.
To make it short.
Yes, we should release another aqua preview.
Yes, we should announce it using PR, mailinglists, forums, whatever.
Yes, we need to make clear that this is a preview that by no means
should be used for productive usage and/or daily work. Even if we
never find an issue/crash whatever we devs/supports here on the
list may not use the 80% where the issues are.
*No*, we shouldn't put a preview on the Apple download sites. This
can do us more harm then help.
+1 very well put.
Last night I updated the aqua download pages:
