In this case the definition of transfer from Alpha to Beta should be it
is stable (means every one signed that they tested basic tests - and
publish the list of tested items) and Beta is only hardening of the
code.

This is part of what the Task-force recently presented would like to
achieve.

What's required is to define exactly what it means to be alpha and beta 
releases.  I would expect feature freeze to occur before an alpha
release code drop.
