The alpha releases as currently constituted are practically the exact
opposite of what's being suggested here :-(. We are pushing them out
without very much advertisement, and certainly without any formal
program to encourage significant testing. That's more or less forced by
the decision that alpha releases should be low-overhead, but I think
we're unlikely to get wide-ranging test coverage that way.
