## Beta or not does not matter, whether a patch exists does not matter, write it up. Document it.

Like your previous question, this is a **business matter,** not a documentation issue you should decide for yourself. You should document it, even if you have just ONE beta tester, whether or not a patch exists, and let your management decide if they are willing to risk any liability or negative publicity that may arise from a **failure** to document the behavior.

This should not be **your** decision, it should be the decision of somebody with fiscal responsibility for the fate of your company or employer.
