Let's see .... you reference an announcement about a *BETA* version in
April as a defense of a *FINAL RELEASE* in October. If you go to the
Ubuntu website and look at "choosing a version" there isn't even a hint
of the "warning" you reference. Any rational being would expect such a
warning to be present if it were still operative (you expect BETA
software to be risky - which is why most people don't install it). Until
and unless there is a similar warning on the website telling people that
6.10 isn't safe, then expect that to be the version downloaded and
installed. It isn't a defense to say "but we warned you that the beta
version wasn't safe."
