Well, in fact my impression is that the time third-party authors are
going to begin to look at things is not alpha1 but beta1. Because until
beta comes out you don't know what's in there. Some commits could get
reverted before entering beta is what is being said, the goal being to
be able to reach code stability in non-infinite time...
In my mind the fact that beta is meant to be about 2 to 3 months old is
for those problems to get solved before release. In short, I am the
blind driver who's not seeing what problem you're talking about.
