So, I know the deal, but if it is so crippled that it fails, releasing it on us might not be a great experience. We do expect ~most~ things to work, in Beta Fashion, but not as in Alpha fashion. Since I have not tried it, I can't say from my experience, but others are plainly very unhappy, so that makes me a tad nervous. Iron out the major stuff, then release. IMHO.
