All I can say is you are going to have a lot of unhappy people, both
clients
and web designers, should they discontinue it... Imagine having to go back
and
instantly equip dozens of clients with Contribute or some other basic
CMS...

It's listed on the Top New features page for DW CS4 - but it's got
"prerelease" in parentheses after it. Spry scripts are also tagged as
prerelease and contain this comment atop:
// SpryWhatever.js - version 0.4 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1

It would seem this is a legal tactic. Perhaps Adobe's lawyers suggested this
as a way to insulate against lawsuits in the event that a feature caused
problems or was removed.

I might be in the minority here, but I would think hard and long about
deploying a "prerelease" solution on a real web page or as a service for
real clients.

"So, you might have some unhappy people, but not a lot of them."

A mere room full could cause serious bodily harm...
