I wouldn't mind having alpha 1 in April 2013, and alpha 2 in October 2013.
I share Larry's skepticism, and actually fear that it may confuse users
(which find that they test something completely different from what gets
released). However, I don't mind supporting this strategy anyway as an
experiment.
