Indeed. AFAIK there aren't any open tickets for related problems. I'm
somewhat
hopeful that the current implementation is good enough for the time being.
As
explained not so long ago the whole issue needs a three-way solution, but I
don't think I'll attack that anytime soon. At least as long as the status
quo
seems to work everywhere.

All packages built under alpha 1, unless broken or unusable for whatever
other
reason, don't need to be rebuilt. All other packages will need to be
rebuilt
either under alpha 1 or under alpha 2 (respectively against an alpha 2
branch
revision after we've updated the versioning info).

Agreed. When we have set a preliminary tagging date we should also set the
branch date, so that we have reasonable amount of time for consolidating it
(three or four weeks at least, I'd say).
