That's determined by the release criterion, not the test case. If you
want to propose moving the criterion from Alpha to Beta, start a
separate thread for that. But personally I'd prefer it to stay at Alpha;
it does make sense to require the two most crucial apps for any desktop
to work at Alpha.
How do you define a terminal as a crucial app for any desktop?
Let alone at alpha when the user can always boot into the multi-user
target for a terminal and <ctrl><alt>F2?
