Until we get 1.0, I don't understand what the alpha/beta designations
mean.  I.e. from one view, it's beta, since the interface is
reasonably solid, and just some fixes need to be done.  Then one could 
consider that a whole new module will show up (implying alpha-status).

I think that stable/unstable would be better labels.

best,
