      Beta releases do not include RPMs, but the 8.1 Beta docs incorrectly detail installing, configuring, and updating with RPMs which is causing confusion for customers and unnecessary support cases.

      =====

      Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Installation Methods
      "Chapter 6. Installing JBoss EAP by using the RPM installation method"
      https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/8.1-beta/html-single/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform_installation_methods/index#assembly_installing-jboss-eap-using-the-rpm-installtion-method_default

      This entire chapter should be removed from the Beta docs, and replaced with a big banner that RPM installations are not available until GA.

      =====

      Updating Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
      "Chapter 11. Updating an RPM installation"
      https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/8.1-beta/html-single/updating_red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/index#updating-an-rpm-installation_default

      Same thing for this one. The entire chapter should be removed from the Beta docs, and replaced with a big banner that RPM installations are not available until GA.

      =====

      Many other areas of the docs are affected also, but addressing the two listed above will likely be a sufficient workaround, as installing/updating is a prerequisite to doing anything else with it so the other incorrect docs related to RPMs would effectively be moot.
