When something is merged into Clang trunk, the expectation is that it will be 
production quality or will be worked on rapidly to get it to production 
quality, which is somewhat orthogonal to getting user feedback. I don't know 
that I have the full history of all of the alpha checks so my generalization 
may be inaccurate, but it seems like some of these checks were accepted as a 
WIP and the "progress" stopped for a long time with no one volunteering to 
remove the features from the analyzer.

That does not require clang-tidy to surface the alpha checks, correct?
