Yeah, I run Gitlab-EE internally and am aware of gitlab.com being a test bed but I can definitely see how others less familiar with Gitlab aren't aware of that.

Yeah, I run Gitlab-EE internally and am aware of gitlab.com being a test bed but I can definitely see how others less familiar with Gitlab aren't aware of that. Taking a quick glance at their site I can't even find anything about it basically being the test bed. There used to be some lines last year that said something along the lines that gitlab.com was known to be unstable and they recommended important projects to be self hosted. Maybe it was in the docs, I forget. They should probably emphasize that somewhere if that's still the route they're going, although I feel like I did read they're working on major stability/infrastructure upgrades to solve those issues. I don't pay much attention to gitlab.com since I use my own ee.
