True.  However often demo systems suffer from a lack of (sane) content
which can make it very hard to get a real feel for what the system can
really do.  My thinking was that pulling real content from the live
system would give a real example of how its used, and let folks try out
things which could be disruptive elsewhere.

Presumably the page templates could be hacked to add a warning to every
page (and maybe a colour scheme change as an additional cue).
