Careful. The last thing we want, if we actually want any users, is to call 
it an alpha. Wade through your average LUG's mailing list some time and 
look at all the comments / perceptions of Fedora by non-Fedora users. A 
lot won't even try it because they view it as an alpha of RHEL, and not as 
what it actually is - a quick-moving, but still bugfixed / qa'ed distro.
