    Either nobody cares, or it must be a slow Slashdot day, this has been posted for 25 minutes and no comments?

    It's a beta release and we're all happy with the LTS release right now?

    It's no worse than doing a regedit import which I've had to do to fix presumably Grandma-ready Windows issues.
