SV: Nagios 2.0 stable

[Aaron Carr]

While I understand your statement, and for the most part, agree with
the underlying intent, some of us are forced to care.

At the moment, I'm working for a fortune 100 company.  I would be
crucified if I used a *beta* software in a production capacity.  This
company has just barely allowed Linux, and several other well known
open source applications (Apache, Tomcat)  for use to begin with.

For those of us in environments such as this, we *must* wait until the
beta is declared successful, and that tag is removed from the version.

Does that mean that there won't be bugs?  Of course not.  Does that
mean that the processes for support or bugfixes change?  Again, of
course not.  That's the just the rules in places like this.
