The final Beta which will be released on September 26th, and the absolute final images which will be released on October 17th are required by Canonical. In a PM Nicholas indicated that a couple of the other flavors were "opting" for only Alpha 1 and the Beta 1. That might make sense. I do think we should at least have an Alpha 1 so we can mention any installation bugs in the release notes. I say that because the installer team really left us hanging for a few months until final testing in Raring. But ultimately Julien will have the best idea when his planned changes are going to hit the repos so which of those "opt-in" test cycles will best serve the project are up to him.
