Maybe I'm a little late, but I have some concerns with the name.
>From WordNet (r) 2.0 (August 2003) [wn]:
volatile
adj 1: evaporating readily at normal temperatures and pressures;
"volatile oils"; "volatile solvents" [ant:
{nonvolatile}]
2: liable to lead to sudden change or violence; "an explosive
issue"; "a volatile situation with troops and rioters
eager for a confrontation" [syn: {explosive}]
3: marked by erratic changeableness in affections or
attachments; "fickle friends"; "a flirt's volatile
affections" [syn: {fickle}]
4: tending to vary often or widely; "volatile stocks";
"volatile emotions"
Does anyone really want software on their system that meets any of those
definitions? It's even scarier sounding than "unstable" or
"experimental"...
