Hi, Picking a recent example: Saverio Perugini <sperugin@csgrad.cs.vt.edu> writes: > What is a BETA system? Is it similiar to CURRENT? We get a lot of this sort of thing every time a release rolls, an idea crossed my mind, perhaps if during BETA and RC phases /etc/motd were to carry a big message like ---------------------- DO NOT PANIC - BETA is a normal phase that STABLE goes through prior to the rolling of a release. If anything it is *MORE* stable than usual during BETA as all changes are monitered by the release engineer. ---------------------- Changing BETA to RC as appropriate. It *might* reduce the effect, worth a try ? -- Life is complex - it has real and imaginary parts.
