"Max Rydahl Andersen The initial statement in this JIRA, and in fact statements on the call w/ me that caused the JIRA to be opened, was about updating ALL of JBDS, not just parts of it. "

I never suggested updating all of jbds as jbds is today. if that is the question then of course we should not do that. 

Thus let me change the title of this jira to reflect the actual discussed idea.

> *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?
