Most programmers release betas to a closed group of people and not to the
general public. This is the general approach and I can't see why it is
rude.

I very much disagree with this. The more applications that uses MUI the
better. MUI is very powerful and offers me configurability to an extend
that most probably wouldn't be reached by any custom GUI. Likewise it is
a benefit to the users that all MUI applications uses the same interface
for configuring the GUI - custom GUI's would have to be configured in
different ways.
Personally I find MUI to be one of the most important items on our
platform.
And a side note: I have absolutely no problems with instability and MUI.
The only regular crashes that I experience is in my opinion contributed to
Voyager and not in any way to MUI.
