Oh, ok :)
Yeah, then I guess that's what we already label "pre-alpha".
Unfortunately, the ones built by Sikosis are not yet Hybrid builds.

I would guess once we've identified the *exact* revision that is
alpha-worthy, we would have a good clean version built, regression
tested for a day or so to make sure everything is exactly how we want
it, and then distributed as the "golden alpha 1" ;)
After that we can certainly continue distributed nightlies, but I'm
not sure I'd call them alpha nor pre-beta - maybe just "nightly". This
leaves the door open to do an "alpha2" if we feel it's necessary.
In any case, these are just my impressions/opinions. Since there's
never really been a release, we're sort of in a peculiar predicament
of having no experience to pull from yet ;)
