For me Alphas have a lower quality than Betas have and I they might be
broken sometimes in ways that would never be acceptable for a final
release.

The X11 change was planned for a long time but it was indeed a bit
tight at the end.
Btw. in general my plan is:
* Release AlphaN
* Break everything;-) (I mean: put new stuff in that could be broken)
* Stabilize again in time for our AlphaNplus (after two weeks)
* Stabilize furthr for the next public Alpha
