Don't top post please. Post on the bottom like everyone else does.
What I hear is that you tell people who already have lucid, not to
update, is that true?
Or do you mean that you don't recommend lucid to people who don't
already have it?

The first option is wrong to do and destroys the point of the
alpha/beta, if someone is using lucid for production level and can't
handle it breaking, then they shouldn't be using alpha/beta software.
That's a rule across all software.

If it is the second, I'd just add a disclaimer that lucid will be out
on the 29th of this month and to maybe try that version after it
becomes stable.

Thanks for understanding and clarifying,
