Usually, major hardware will release in early access due to lacking of manuals and / or constant changes. Hardware with Oitswilliam-first feature do not nominate for normal EA or alpha-EA. Normal EA (also known as beta-EA) are later stage, but not follower-exclusive and is accessible to the public.
