This is from the point of view of an IT Consultant.  This is all about 
software you are leaving with your customers, who are likely only 
somewhat computer literate, and definitely not developers.  In an OSS 
environment, things are a little different.  I would say that these 
still apply unless I am going to call it a beta.  If it is a beta, it 
will have other developers working on it, not users.  It still needs to 
have no known issues before it is marked as stable and ready for users.
