If I remember correctly, Tomcat announces each release publically and calls them "alpha" before GA. I think Ted has a good point, but I don't want to quibble over "alpha" or "test" since, as Wendy pointed out, it is a release. As long as the user list knows it's not an official version, which was Martin's comment, I think there will be little confusion.
