241da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
251da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
261da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
271da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
281da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
291da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
301da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
311da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
321da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
331da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
341da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
351da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
361da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
371da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
381da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
391da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
401da177e4SLinus Torvalds
411da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
421da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
431da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
441da177e4SLinus Torvalds
451da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
461da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
471da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
481da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
491da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
501da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.
