Yes, I agree totally that open source should be as open as possible, no doubt 
about it. My response to the above statement is that I don't generally feel 
"guilty" about not being able to help someone who is in over their heads, I feel 
frustrated being one of those who takes the brunt of "your 
site/documentation/forum/etc. is shitty and if it was better I wouldn't have all 
these problems and I wouldn't be here ranting."

I would be satisfies with BIG RED LETTERS that warn users. If you call something 
a "Developer Edition" or words to that effect, you may scare away some of those 
who should be waiting for the stable release.
