We're definitely still in alpha - during the time we've been on HN, for example, we've discovered that the large amount of traffic projects were getting meant our timeouts were too short. Had we exclusively been using our own patch system for changes, it might have been hard to submit a fix! We turned on github issues again since if someone had a hard time installing or running, they wouldn't have been able to submit bug reports. And we still have breaking changes relatively often.

I'll take this opportunity to say again - this is alpha software, and not ready for production use!
