I am OK with removing the alpha assuming that we think that the APIs are stable enough that we are willing to truly start maintaining backwards compatibility on them within 2.X. From what I have seen I think that they are fairly stable and I think there is enough adoption by other projects right now that breaking backwards compatibility would be problematic.
