Yes, we DID tell everybody that it is a not-for-use and not-for-review
alpha version. But as people are, we could not avoid such "reviews".

The very first comment already said all there is to say (translation by Google):
"The staff of mageia made it clear that the objective of this first
alpha was to leave things running: Install, boot, repositories are set
up and working."

"After that everything is round, they will begin to implement their
ideas. And, thankfully, as they themselves said, the MCC will remain
intact!"
