Yes, it is pedantry (what did you expect from me?), but it has some real life consequences -- Tom's long boring paragraph which no sane maintainer will ever read (I am afraid) is one example of trying to be too legalistic IMHO. For hints text, something like this would be enough (again IMHO, and IAAL): Maintainers should strongly avoid releasing "alpha" or "beta" builds of packages into Fedora (both Rawhide and especially into released distributions). If you think you need to do so, please, test thoroughly and write in the changelog the reasons why you did so (if possible with the timeline stable release could be expected). or something of this kind.
