The wiki should explicitly note that this software is very much in alpha
with problems to be expected.  Issues that may arise include overwritten
dotfiles, passwd, master db, and corruption of the pkg database.  The
only safe way to test is by using ZFS partitions with frequent creation
of beadm snapshots.
