Of course I'd put up a 'don't use unless you know what you're doing' notice, and mask them thoroughly. And support would be probably slower/more sparse, but not necessarily so since I'll probably be using kde3 myself all the time before long, and I know some other people will do so too before the final release. As for problems that are rooted in kde3 as such (not just beta trouble), the more input and testers the better - as long as they understand that it's not *supposed* to be stable. As I've said, better solve these now than when kde3-final comes out. > But as I said, if everyone else feels this is ok, just put it in. Everyone?
