When we talk about 'nothing being added' after Alpha we're really
talking about major features. The package sets on the media can, and do,
change. It doesn't happen so much lately, but it's been the case in the
past that the Alpha live images were, say, 800MB, because no-one had yet
trimmed the package set down to keep them under a CD in size. Then they
did get properly trimmed down for Beta or Final. We don't want to block
the Alpha if this happens.
