I’d say it’s not ready "as such" for production but can be used by advanced users & coders, I know I am not the only one using it "live"... It’s like MODx betas there are few things that need ironing out but nothing you can’t live with (at least for me).
I sure can understand how it could make you want to selectively restrict the future release to developpers only but I think it would not make beta testing FDM better. Worst case scenario, make it available to the testing team only in the first stage...
It’s the moderator’s role to keep people in line you shouldn’t have to do it (though you have every right to). But I sure understand the frustration (ask Coroico since he took on AjaxSearch, he’ll share yours !).
I’ll make a note to the moderators board to enforce things a bit more strictly in the Development & Coding » In Development boards. Keep in mind we are currently re-inforcing our moderator team for the english boards
