Only doing builds from a -alpha/-beta/-rc branch only seems to make
sense once releng makes an release candidate for alpha/beta/final.  In
between those times, the builds should come from the 13 branch.  The
only exception to this I think would be the final stage, where there is
nothing after that compose.  At that point, changes to the 13-branch
should be limited as well, since there wouldn't be any later build to
pick up those changes.
