The purpose of alphas is getting new code some exposure and gathering
user reports about it, so actually it couldbe a good idea to merge
x86_64 in before the release.
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 ?
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.
