How about: Don't release incomplete software without
explicitly labeling it as ALPHA.

If I write a "scientific calculator" and I only
implement addition and subtraction and it doesn't
crash... it would be downright dishonest to release
it as version 1.0, on the grounds that multiply
and divide will be introduced in version 1.1,
and logrithms, exponentials, powers, and roots
will be dribbed out over versions 1.2.x, etc..
and not actually having what anyone REASONABLY
expects of a scientific calculator in version 1.5.

This is "a crock of shit, and it stinks"...please
stop trying to pass it off as "a vessel which contains
something which promotes growth and is extremely powerful"

1.  We know better

2.  It makes SUSE and Novell look exceedingly dishonest
        for not being completely honest about the
        current state of KDE 4.

3.  You're making a VERY bad impression on first-time
    SUSE Linux users -- especially those who have
    never used Linux and/or KDE before.

4.  We told you so.

5.  We told you so.

6.  For how many months have we been telling you this,
    and you all refused to listen.
