The preview release is not the same as a release candidate as the 
document implies. The preview release is the start of the stabilization 
phase and development freeze.

Instead of "does not offer paid support contracts", point out the 
presence of community support/help.

Expand "OS" as operating system.

"make to package set ..." can be altered as "changes to software or 
settings"
