We'd be losing that too.

I've always thought "Preview > Release" was a funny name for a test release and I think the terms > "Alpha" and "Beta" are more familiar to the general public. Maybe 'beta 1' and 'beta 2'. Given that we're feature frozen, calling the first milestone 'alpha' seems odd; similarly, given the tree is frozen, calling the second one 'beta' doesn't quite fit.
