+ Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
+ drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
+ of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
+ testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
+ known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
+ currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
+ uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
+ avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
+ testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
+ may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
+ in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
+ with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
+ (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
+ <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
+ <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
+ <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
