There is nothing to be disallowed because there is no 3.6 release.
There is only beta of 3.6 which is dedicated to the users who want to help.
Helping means also understanding development model and not complaining about
it because such discussions waste time which could be used for development
itself. Today is expiry date but be tolerant to time zones, real life and
other difficoulties.

It is not that software is release under conditions designed by users but it
is that users use software under conditions designed by software owner.

You have agreed during installation to the terms of usage. So you were warned

always very intelligent users.
