umm, no. support for threaded mpms is alpha because of exactly what patrick suggests, ithreads is not quite stable yet. ithreads in 5.8.0-tobe will be much better, but still has yet to be proven in a production environment with apache/modperl. support for prefork is considered beta simply because ithreads (multiple interpreters in the same process) are not used. the label of alpha/beta in the README has nothing to do with apache changing apis or what features have not been implemented in modperl-2.0.
