So am I on alpha.[0] It is doable, but it wears you thin - and
it's extra bad because it means I have hardly any free time to
mentor anybody.

That said, I hope whoever feels the need comes to me /before/ they
file a bug for "Let's make alpha experimental".

[0] Yes, armin76 helps, but he does so for many arches (and
around of applause for that), but the majority of bugs for alpha
are on my plate.
