     <h4>{{ $displayName }} is in Public Alpha</h4>
     <p>
       {{ $displayName }} is in public alpha and available for testing and feedback,
-      but is <strong>not meant for production use</strong>. During the alpha period we 
-      may make breaking changes that will require you to blow away your data and start 
-      over. You should have copies of your data in other places during the alpha period.
-      Both the product and this documentation are works in progress. New builds get 
-      created on every merge into main, so things will be moving quickly for the next 
-      month or so. We welcome and encourage your input about your experience with the alpha.
-      <a href="{{ $product }}/{{ $version }}/get-started/">Get started in minutes</a>
-      and join our public channels for updates and to share feedback.
