I am not sure that I am bothered by this since for the most part users will
not be interested in alpha models. But you are right the alpha staus implies
that the model is in a state where it could be tested by users and there are
models in GIT that are not that far along. The other possibility is that we
discourage including a status rating until such time that the model is user
testable.
This also makes it possible, with some work to the download page, to exclude
models with no status from appearing on the download page. This way aircraft
devs would be able to control when their model appears on the download page.
