Au contraire. I ask myself that question constantly as both a
producer and a consumer. I'm generally pleased to deal with vendors
and partners that credit some level of intelligence to their
communities, and provide choices about when and in what manner to
address things such as migration issues and opportunities.
The simplest thing to do when presented with an option that may
involve risk that exceeds a context-dependent threshold is simply not
to take it. I fail to see how this is not in the customer's interest.
Note the word "option" -- unless somebody is being "forced" to upgrade
to an unstable release, no harm done. For those that find value in
getting a leg up on the situation, it's a good thing.
