Perhaps, but how does this matter facing the mikro's statement that he won't
test untested OS? I understand that he simply won't do testing, because he
is afraid about his disk. No matter if the OS release is marked alpha, beta,
gamma or omega.

And a beta untested in alpha stage may be equally dangerous as alpha itself,
right? So what's the matter?
