Our only problem is to try a bit harder to be as close to conventions as 
possible, ie. meaning of Alpha, Beta and RC. Users didn't quit attempts to use 
development releases in a day, it took some time of upside down stability to 
run them away. 

I don't know how possible is to have "normal" stability taking that distro has 
only what upstream offers and in 8 months there is a lot of upstream 
development, so loading Alpha with a new software, then making only minor 
changes during Beta and nothing, but bugfixes in RC, will result in final 
version few months behind upstream. With kernel, Firefox and possibly other 
major projects adopting rapid release of 3 months, that can mean quite old, 
possibly unmaintained versions shipped with release.
