Well, yes, but "early adopters" doesn't imply "unfinished developer
version". It merely implies "people who want the latest one first
without subsequent bug fixes." The word "final" implies "production
ready". I didn't install 3.4 because the warnings made me look at the
release notes, which led me to believe there are known bugs that would
cause serious problems for my office, but what if I hadn't gotten it
from the website? What if someone had given it to me on a CD merely
labeled "3.4 Final"?

There needs to be some clearer information on the site, and if the
even-numbered release are "development" branches, then there should be
a warning for users when they install those versions, as well.
