How is Fedora in a perpetual 'alpha state?'  If the past few months are
any example it shows that it follows the same tested pattern for rolling
a release.  Develop in rawhide.  Test, alpha, test, beta, freeze,
release.  Rinse and repeat every 6 months.

Not that this process is rocket science.  It's more or less what most of
the other major Linux and BSD vendors do.
