Why not have newbies running Hoary? They/we may not be able to
trouble-shoot major problems, but minor ones or interface issues can
easily be flagged by people who are more removed from the
computer-geek (ahem, expert) way of working, thus improving the
experience for non-experts once Hoary is released, eh?

Besides, Hoary seems to be stable enough for my purposes -- it's my
experimental *nix OS... OS X is my primary *nix OS (can't find a more
polished Unix-like OS :) and YDL is my server OS but that's on a
machine that doesn't get touched other than to u/l d/l files, and,
once in a while, experiment with *nix permissions in
Apache/SMB/AppleTalk or to burn a DVD-R as back-up.
