I proposed to Larry originally that we start the alphas 6 months after 3.3.0,

I like this idea better, even though to keep the total workload constant you'd need to more than double the interval between alphas. Still, a 10- or 12-month release schedule feels like a much bigger commitment to me (and I have managed a release that took 6 months, so I do know what that feels like for real).

but he didn't like that idea, so I since reduced it to simply doing alpha 1 early so that it din't mean any more work for the release team.

Heck, if you're only going to have one early alpha, you could do it yourself, and see if you can persuade the installer builders to volunteer one extra build.
