The Alpha release itself is done now. Alpha is Alpha. Alpha is done. All work is towards Beta. We *test* Alpha, but all that testing is towards making Beta and Final better. We test Beta, to make Final better. But Fedora 18 Alpha is a particular thing that is now done and will never change. Fedora 18 Beta will be a particular thing that will be done and will never change. The state of F18 a week after the Alpha unfreeze is no longer Fedora 18 Alpha. It's something else. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
