I think in the past, we've been focused on what code changes are
required for a G2 release.  But, at least for alpha releases, can't we
just release regularly and see how many releases it takes to go beta
and then final?

It's not like we're breaking stuff on purpose.  I think that right
now, any cvs snapshot that builds is suitable for release as alpha.
How hard is the release process?  Can it be automated into a, say
biweekly, release?

We could say, o.k. let's ensure that the tree builds on the 1st and
3rd Monday of the month, because someone's cronjob is sucking up the
cvs into a tgz.  What else is involved in an alpha release?
