Most people go to the documentation when they find they have a problem,
in this case when its too late. I dont think stamping a big warning in
the documentation is enough. 

With no real effort being made to solve them I would strongly suggest
that versions are actually removed. Or somehow stamped in big letters in
the ZMI "Buggy, liable to break things, alpha quality" :)
