Description Daniel Riek 2006-12-15 15:57:24 UTC

Please replace the TechPreview definition in the release notes by:

Technology Preview features are not currently supported under Red Hat Enterprise
Linux subscription services, may not be functionally complete, and are generally
not suitable for production use. However, these features are included as a
customer convenience and to provide the technologies with wider exposure.

Customers may find these features useful in non-production environments, and can
provide feedback and functionality suggestions prior to their transition to
fully supported status. Erratas will be provided for high-priority security issues.
 
During its development additional components of a Technology Preview feature may
become available to the public for testing. It is the intention of Red Hat to
fully support Technology Preview features in a future release.

suggest using "high-severity security issues" rather than "high-priority
security issues" as the severity of security issues is something we already
define to customers (we don't talk about 'priority').
