Stable testing is a valuable service we provide to users. Time invested by developers during stabilization has the potential to pay dividends to users multiple times over. But the presumption in that statement is that the number of users meaningfully greater than the number of developers. I no longer believe this is the case for Alpha. As a result, I don't think it's a good use of my time to perform stable testing on alpha. I plan to keep the profiles "stable" (meaning no depgraph breakages) but to change to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~alpha". Thoughts?
