The definition of GA includes none of the items below, though they
may happen to be in it.
GA (General Availability) simply means that it is available to the
targeted commumnity for purchase, separate from any beta or trial
programs.
> I'm looking for a commonly-accepted definition of GA in software.
> I'm thinking General Availability means:
>
> - The product provides promised features/functionality.
> - The product has been tested.
> - No known priority 1 or 2 defects exist.
> - The company selling the software accepts some liability for the
> product and affords some level of support based on the promised
> features/functionality.
