[bbDev] Looking for honest, dream-dashing opinions

[Shahyar G]

It's of no use. It's still got many bugs to iron out, so even if you do use 
it on a live site, you'll have many holes that would have to be patched up 
manually later. Once they've got a version ready for live testing, it'll get 
an installer. I just don't see the point of having one at this point in 
development. Just my two cents.
