The entire point of having alpha/beta releases is to get wide testing 
without having everything "perfect".  If it were perfect, it'd be the 
release.  So you have relaxed requirements for earlier stages of the 
release.

In this case, anaconda upgrades is not a required functionality for the 
Alpha release.  It is required however for Beta.  We can go ahead with 
Alpha and get wider testing on everything else, while anaconda team and 
others work on the upgrade issue, and hope to have it fixed by Beta time.

This is how software development works.
