Bob is correct that we cannot effectively track unreleased code issues on the reflector.
The second reason for requesting that these issues go to the bug tracker is that the SVN version is ALPHA CODE. That means that it is almost guaranteed to have bugs. This will be true 10 years from now if all goes well and we all have not run out of good ideas. Most companies do not give access to alpha code as we do. Most companies even limit beta code to a small cadre of trusted customers. Virtually all other companies in our business do not publish source code. Publishing SVN ALPHA related bugs on the reflector almost always confuses newcomers, who do not yet understand the difference between officially released code and alpha development code on the SVN. We make this alpha code available as a benefit to our customers who want to play with the latest and greatest. I guarantee you that we will break stuff on the SVN many times that may be working just fine on the official release. That is the nature of alpha. If someone is not comfortable with alpha code, they should stay with the official release. We won't prevent anyone from posting SVN comments here but we sincerely request that everyone use the bug tracking system as their primary means of communicating those issues. This is a courtesy to our development team and to those who might not understand the nature of alpha code.
