This is usually 33 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is 34 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage 35 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to 36 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active 37 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it 38 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work 39 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar 40 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers 41 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents 42 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>, 43 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and 44 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source). 45 46 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available.
