+I'm perfectly willing to give it a shot (even with my earlier concerns
+and caveats). Perhaps after alpha2 is a good idea, but I'm not against
+doing it sooner either for wider testing (the "officialness" of an alpha
+should mean it gets more testing... in theory!), especially as I doubt
+it will cause any problems due to the nature of the software and it's
+sources and who is behind it etc. If there is a problem we resubmit
+mysql before the beta stage.
+
+
+I certainly feel your frustration, (I've been in a similar situation
+several times!), but try to be pragmatic and understand peoples'
+concerns/paranoia (once bitten, twice shy and all that!)
