This is usually 39 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is 40 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage 41 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to 42 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active 43 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it 44 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work 45 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar 46 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers 47 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents 48 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>, 49 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and 50 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source). 51 52 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available.
