I see a huge difference between the BeOS DRs and the alpha release we're 
aiming at for Haiku. The DRs were really useless to anyone but developers. 
Our release however, even if mainly targeted at developers, is basically a 
not quite complete, not yet stable R1. Which is exactly what the term "alpha" 
is generally used for. Neither does "DR1" convey that this is alpha quality 
software, nor that the release can already be used -- with care! -- as a BeOS 
replacement.
