Alpha release.  Beta is only a month before release.  By that point, developer 
time is aimed much more at big showstopper bugs than at some non-default app 
that happens to crash if you press that button that's really useful to you.

But even so, we've got a good few thousand bugs sitting in Launchpad waiting 
to be fixed...folks skilled in the art of "git bisect" to find what upstream 
patch fixes a bug and folks who are one with their debuggers would be quite 
useful.
