FWIW, Mandrake Linux includes a tool MandrakeUpdate which allows
downloading of "Normal Updates" or "Development Updates". If you chose
Devel Upd, you get the following warning:

Caution ! These packages are NOT well tested.
You really can screw up your system
by installing them.

Perhaps the configure tools could recognize a DANGEROUS status (or keyword
or ???) and would display such a message ...
