Depends on when. There is no point in an alpha release of untested code.
If you want to delay the release a few more months, then sure, that's a
good idea.
However, it's been a year since the last release, and people want some
more stable release to work on. Maybe we should make a DR (developer
release) with stable things, and make another alpha with all the new
changes merged in ?
We didn't manage to release an alpha in quite some time, and you want to
add just another release to the mix?
I think as long as we try to make *alpha* releases stable, we will have
trouble releasing anything. If we want to make stable releases, then
call them DR or something similar that better represents what they
actually are, and put everyone in the mindset for it.
I think you have a strange understanding of a release :-)
There is no point in doing releases when what you release is untested
crap. Doing releases is hard work, and we actually intended to learn
from the alpha release process for the real thing.
If you want unstable, please just use the nightly images instead.
Bye,
Axel.
