I think 'not rated', 'alpha' and 'beta' have a meaning somewhat different from the production ratings. The various production ratings are a judgement of quality, 'alpha' and 'beta' are a judgement of readiness and the amount of testing that has been done, and 'not rated' is a judgement about the rating process itself. In my understanding, 'alpha' denotes something I put out for others to view, but I know it is not ready - I know that some combinations of buttons create errors, that feature X doesn't do as it should. 'beta' denotes something for which I was unable to find more bugs, but that hasn't been thoroughly tested by others, meaning that the likelihood to find bugs is still high. 'not rated' I would understand as 'hasn't really been looked at'. So, regardless of the sum I obtain, I would for example always consider an aircraft 'beta' as long as I get errors from Nasal scripts in the console. So while I see the logic in capturing 'alpha' along with the quality ratings, especially with 'beta' I don't really see that it ties in neatly.
