I think releasing another alpha is a great idea. We have seen increasing
number of people trying out the R1A2 and complaining on things already
fixed in the nightly builds.
I do have one small enhancement to throw in the pot though...
* checkfs can only be run on mounted file systems and likes to KDL on
corrupt file systems.
As more and more people are starting to store data in Haiku, we need to
make sure there is a chance can be recovered if there is a (unlikely)
file system problem.
Other then that, I personally think an Alpha 3 is a great idea.
