Sorry, I just don't get that. I was demonstrating how the case Koki was talking about
(pre-release CD for handing out at conferences) could be accommodated within the current
guidelines. What do you mean by "treating them like average users" - just
saying on the CD that it is pre-release code and won't necessarily be a good indication
of the quality of the release? Surely that's a sensible thing to say, whether to
developers or users?
