Comment(by arma):

 Sounds good to me.

 But here's another nit, since there are so many nits here already: when
 we're running 0.2.3.15-beta, are we going to call it 'alpha software'
 still?

 Not that I have a better word. 'unstable' is bad. 'experimental' could be
 better. How about "This is not a stable Tor release."? or "This is a
 development Tor version." or "This Tor version is not a stable Tor
 release."

 I'm slightly partial to the last one.
