In this case the "bad feeling" is justified, because there were too many 
problems too late in the release cycle. It isn't a matter of whether all 
the known bugs are fixed but whether we can be reasonably confident that 
there aren't any more critical bugs that haven't been reported yet or have 
been introduced by the latest updates. Maybe there should be some sort of 
stability test for core features (eg. no major changes, no more than a 
certain number of blocker bugs raised) after the alpha phase.

I agree. I was worried when systemd appeared in F14 just before the alpha. 
Really we should have been much closer to where we are now at the start of 
the alpha phase, and systemd should have gone in soon after F13 was forked 
off.
