Bug Description
The GUI is intended for use by normal user and enabling proposed can make the system unstable. Despite this, some users want to use early release of packages and the current message discourage them of doing so.
It should be reworded to explain clearly that this channel contains early release of packages and not discourage them of using it.

Thanks for the report. Is the current wording really that discouraging? It just warns user that proposed version didn't go through full testing yet and might create issue, which is a fair statement. No objection to change it if design comes with another text though...
