Given that I went to the trouble of reading this lengthy email, I
thought I would reply.

The reason that Alpha releases are made is so that the more competent
computer users can test that things work. If you report bugs, these
things get fixed.

I do not ever compile kernel modules. There have been occasions where
hardware that used to work correctly stops working. I report these
early in the release cycle (often marked [Regression]) and the
problems are nearly always fixed by release time.
