My original suggestion to Antoine and Georg for 3.4 was that we simply propose to Larry Hastings (the 3.4 RM) that we spread out the release cycle, releasing the first alpha after ~6 months, the second after about ~12, then rolling into the regular release cycle of a final alpha, some beta releases, one or two release candidates and then the actual release. However, I'm sympathetic to Antoine's point that early alphas aren't likely to be at all interesting to folks that would like a fully supported stdlib update to put into production and no longer think that suggestion makes much sense on its own.
This looks like a 'good bridge' of suggestion between rapid releases and stable releases.
What would be purpose of alpha release. Would we encourage people to use it or test it? Which the rapid relase cycle, the encouragement is to use rather than test.
