That says the "Alpha" label cannot be applied to a release without a vote. Before that, it's only a 'proposed release'. (The notion of 'test build' is not in the bylaws.) It also says that alpha releases can be distributed.
I think "proposed release" and "test build" essentially mean the same thing, though I might prefer the use of "proposed release" a bit simply because it makes it very clear that the build is not yet a release. But I think that last phrase is the point. It matters little what we call it on the user list as long as we make it very clear that it is not a release.
As an aside, do you think that most people who are interested in testing and playing with stuff like this would be subscribed to the dev@ list anyway? If so, does the announcement really need to go to the user@ list before it becomes a release?
