The problem with "do-not-use" is that it doesn't say why it shouldn't be
used.  How about "under-development" or "under-construction" instead of
"unreleased"?

Would it be possible to alter the login "issue" in these development
areas to provide a disclaimer like:

	Disclaimer:  This release of the Debian distribution is still
	under development.  If you use this system, please send all
	comments/questions/bug-reports to "debian-devel@pixar.com".
	Please don't make such reports publicly as such things may not
	apply to the public release of Debian (currently v0.93R6).
