Sorry, I don't get it - is the problem calling Alpha gold, as it's
definitely not gold final release. What's the difference between
Alpha and Alpha 1? You mean TCX should be Alpha X (and RC, "final"
Alpha?). It was already stated that TCs are not for general public,
so in this case it would be non-sense to release Alpha XYZ :)
