Why not let new users try running their code on the unstable in-progress Pharo version? I mean, developers generally know the deal. You either use an older Stable version, or if you can tolerate instability, you develop against a moving target (Pharo 4, in this case) so that it's easier to port, when it's released. This is fairly standard stuff, right?
Sean is right - why offer a download link at all (on the Pharo download page) if it's not for new users? Experienced Pharoers don't use it anyway. If, for some reason, you believe strongly against letting newbies play with Pharo 4 at all, why provide a download link at all? This reminds me of street signs in Boston, USA :) (Or rather, the lack of them, on many streets. And locals say "well, this is Boston, if you don't know where you're going, you probably shouldn't be here." I'm not even kidding! And I think, you guys are missing the point of street signs...)
