This. Years ago I had the same problem with people making unreasonable demands within the first week of open sourcing, despite clearly marking it Alpha and versioning it as 0.0.n. I closed the whole project in disgust.

My advice would be to not take the road I took, but to realise that there will always be impatient people desperate for the free solution that you're providing -- it'll be better for your soul to be forgiving (I say this in hindsight). Don't let yourself get caught up in their dramas, but calmly instruct them to what FOSS is about.
