One very good reason to do a release whether it be Alpha or Beta is I have
noticed that when Haiku is mentioned on websites like OSNews and SlashDot.org
that someone always claims the >software has not been updated in years because
the main Haiku-OS website points to Alpha-4 but there is no easy way for
beginners to see that the nightly updates from the same main page.

>

Or at-least add a link to the nightly page on the main page below installing
Haiku.


I also think we should now revisit whether the next release is Alpha or Beta.
It's been quite a long time since our last serious release discussion,
and since that time it is not clear to me that we have made any substantial
progress towards resolving the package management issues.


If we are stalled on package management, I think that will keep pushing a Beta
release out, right?. So the next best option is Alpha 5 release.


Thanks,
Andrew
