No on all counts, IMO. If we run into problems with 1.7.0, well, then we release 1.7.1. I'm not a fan of the alpha/beta thing. I'm also averse to the package rename - we're a little late in the game to consider that, and it's such a massive compatibility-breaking change that I'd rather due that in 2.0. And I'm not opposed to moving jclouds-chef into the main repo, but again, not this late in the game - the goal at this point should be to get 1.7.0 out ASAP, so major architectural/code layout/etc issues should be deferred, I thinkk.
