I sincerely hope that "not fully productized" is not marketing-speak for 
"let us know if this happens to work".

If I choose to install something off of freshrpms, I don't feel bad if 
it ain't quite there yet.  I need some reasonable level of functionality 
in a distribution (or at least some way to distinguish core/dependable 
from alpha/experimental).  Missing features is one thing; stuff that 
just doesn't work is another.  I like to choose where I waste my time ;-)

Surely you wouldn't intentionally dilute the quality of the free (beer) 
edition just to pump up the value of the 'enterprise' editions?  Well, I 
  can't say I'd blame you if you did.  Good QA is worth real $$.
