+          systems to help us eliminate bugs or other issues that may exist.
+          While we do not advise you to run PostgreSQL 17 Beta 1 in production
+          environments, we encourage you to find ways to run your typical
+          application workloads against this beta release.

+        <p>
+          Your testing and feedback will help the community ensure that the
+          PostgreSQL 17 release upholds our standards of delivering a stable,
+          reliable release of the world's most advanced open source relational
+          database. Please read more about our <a href="/developer/beta/">beta testing process</a>
