Ok, feel free to do so, it is completely reasonable to avoid the churn. I 
didn't know that you have concrete plans that would significantly change the 
scope. 

I trust you that you will add documentation when you finish (or abandon) the 
active development.

I read this as "it is acceptable if the alpha checker crashes on _some 
particular corner cases_" (or has other known bugs); I would still reject a 
proposed alpha checker if it crashed on _almost all_ uses of the relevant 
language feature. (That is just unfinished code, and doesn't belong to the main 
branch IMO.)

Analogously, I think it is OK if the documentation of an alpha checker is short 
or not entirely accurate, but I would prefer to require at least a placeholder. 
However, I don't mind if code under active development temporarily violates 
this – I just want to avoid leaving checkers without docs for several years.
