I think we all have somewhat similar positions then. The milestone builds are not official releases and therefore aren't subject to the TCK. My position would be that we do not announce them other then updating a wiki or a webpage that lists the version and its status as an "alpha" or "beta" build.
Also, I would suggest that we follow the Struts procedure and eventually vote one of these milestone builds to be an official GA release (we would subject it to TCK before then.)
