I have a site that won't be up and running until the fall.

It's a rather simple directory and basic CRM for accounts. Reps would be entering the data over the next four or five months.

Is there any reason to not start entering that data now on a D8 beta9 install?

Only modules needed would be Token, Path Auto and maybe some Taxonomy stuff later.

I don't care if it looks like craigslist for the next year.

beta to beta upgrade paths are not supported. D8 will not be ready for production sites until at least RC.

Right.. but all I want to do is data entry.

No mods, themes or anything.

Is data preserved moving through betas and onto RC?

Or is there a chance it blows up, catches fire and I am left with a smouldering pile of PHP?

That doesn't matter since we are specially talking about core.

That's the inherent risk of my first comment. beta to beta upgrade paths are not supported.

If something major has to be changed between betas that breaks data or upgrades of data then you are on your own. Hence why it isn't recommended to build production sites on betas unless you can manually correct any issues that come down the pipe.

you'll be safer when https://www.drupal.org/node/2341575 is green

Ok, cool.

Thanks for the heads up.

Just really eager to take it out for a spin!
