Of course.  And, if you're running beta, you need to understand that the 
software you're using may not be ready for prime time yet.  I've seen 
enough threads on various support fora from users running beta and 
expecting it to be as well polished and bug free (ha!) as production 
versions to know that there are an awful large number of people who 
think that beta means "latest and greatest."

And, as far as running beta goes, I have the time and the resources, but 
not the inclination.  Cleaning up after an upgrade hung, or otherwise 
failed so that I don't have to do a complete re-install and figure out 
what packages I forgot to select is about the biggest job I'm willing to 
get involved in any more.
