OK, but that raises the question then of whether we should even offer
it prominently on the download page, or as the first option. In your
view, should we then offer the "branch formerly known as still" first?
For the benefit of the downloader, yes, I would say it should be listed
first.
For the benefit of TDF and promotional hype and getting large numbers of
people banging on the product to find bugs and crashes, I can see that
it makes good sense to put the newest version as the first option. That
is why it needs to be very clear that this is only for early adopters.
Use the FRESH version if you want to help
the community improve the product by testing and bug reporting.
We already encourage (technically-minded) users to help test during
the development cycle: alpha, beta, release candidates etc. So we have
to be careful, not that we imply: Thanks for helping to test all
during the development cycle and RCs! But even though we've released
it, it's still not ready and needs more testing.
Actually, that is exactly what we should be implying. While it is FRESH,
it still is not really ready, and definitely needs more real-world testing.
