Yes, we don't use a "pre-alpha" tag [1] but start with alpha even though the new features are not even being worked on. I think this makes sense because we already have a running and working system. The important distinctions between phases we need is alpha (i.e., unstable, experimental and unfinished stuff can go in), beta (feature complete but with known problems), RC, and then the final release. I don't think we would gain anything with an additional tag.
