Mustafa Musaji commented on JBDS-3085:
--------------------------------------
We can't support Alpha/Beta users it's simple as that. And customers probably
wouldn't appreciate being shunted to an unsupported version without prior knowledge.
So they should not upgrade unless they know specifically they are going to be moving to an
unsupported version of the product. So in summary, if we can't bring up a pop up that
give users this option and a warning then no, users should not be able to upgrade to Alpha
releases.... however, they should be able to go from 8.0.0.GA to 8.1.0.GA as normal.
Should we be able to update JBDS 8.0.0.GA -> 8.1.0.Alpha1 via
Early Access?

Max brought up a question on a call today:
*Should we be able to update JBDS 8.0.0.GA -> 8.1.0.Alpha1 via Early Access?*
This was supposedly in the original scope for the creation of a Early Access site, but I
never saw that. So, in order to get some eyeballs on this idea, and to get buy-in from
QE/doc/dev/PM/PgM/PL, I'm cc:'ing some people here so we can discuss the cons and
cons of this idea.

(Aside: has anyone noticed that there's an plethora of people with "M"
names on this team?)
Things to consider:
a) what happens if an 8.0.0.GA user suddenly finds they've updated to an Alpha or
Beta release? Can they uninstall? (Probably not, if they started with the installer;
probably yes if they started from BYOE / Marketplace.)
b) how will GSS support these "I was on GA but not I'm on Beta" users?
c) What about project examples that might / might not be compatible between 8.0 and 8.x,
eg., because of changes in Eclipse Luna or a new default runtime (EAP 6.3, 6.4) ?
d) what could possibly go wrong?
