I see alpha163 and alpha166 available. I find them very stable and bug-free, haven't had an issue with them since the -rc series started (that's what? 2 years ago? more?) I think Zac uses the alphas to test how well his ideas work in practice, each version numbers seems to implement one new idea at a time. Things stay in or come out based on how well they behave in the real world, so there is some feature churn but very few bugs as such.
