OK. I will. I quote from your original email:
"If we had Alpha releases, say 'lenny-alpha1' release at a point where
there's no major block/crash-like problems being caused then people
could download that milestone release. 'lenny-alpha1' could then not
update until 'lenny-alpha2' is released"
Sounds like you want to have pre-stable release to me. It's called a
Release Candidate.
I still see no reason to have separate releases or stages within
testing. I think it is more trouble then it is worth for the developers.
