Surely the moral is never to allow _any_ beta software anywhere near
any vital data, at least unless it is adequately backed up and you are
prepared to recover it if necessary.  This is not specific to beta
versions of Ubuntu.

One could generalise this and say say that one should never allow
_any_ software (beta or not) near any vital data, at least unless it
is adequately backed up and you are prepared to recover it if
necessary.  Any software or hardware may fail in unpredictable ways.

Of course any vital data _will_ be adequately backed up and will have
tested recovery procedures.
