Actually what I want to get away from with this release is Alpha, Beta and RC.
Our Alphas are usually not less stable than our betas and our RCs are usually
not 100% release material. So I want simple Milestones with goals associated 
to it. These goals wouldn't be much different from what we have now, but it
would make it more clear IMO.
