381da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
391da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
401da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
411da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
421da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
431da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
441da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
451da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
461da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
471da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
481da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
491da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
501da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
511da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
521da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and

561da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
571da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
581da177e4SLinus Torvalds
591da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
601da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
611da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
621da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
631da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
641da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.
