Also, referring to a test build as alpha is prejudging the quality of the build; it
could be better than that, or it could be worse, and IMNSHO it
reflects badly on us if we first claim it's alpha and later are seen
to change our minds about that, whichever way the change goes.
This is something which seems entirely contrary to the spirit of these frequent, incremental builds -- I have assumed all along that the point was that when a build was first made, it would be, no matter what considered of alpha quality, and that after the build was in the wild for a while and real feedback came in, we would use that feedback to upgrade the status of the build when appropriate.
I strongly disagree with the idea that we "look bad" when we upgrade a release. I do think we look bad if we downgrade.
