What happened to the term 'Alpha' ? Congrats to the Mozilla team though for their ramp up in production speed. Nice to see.

  "This was generally rejected due to alpha having existing connotations. Aurora could be crashier than an alpha. Also, it is better to talk about Aurora as a separate entity rather than an alpha of Firefox (which is why the branding is different)." http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/msg/81055a18fa8ddfe6 http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/msg/8105...

    > Aurora could be crashier than an alpha. I think "beta" (even a "pre-beta") connotes more stability than "alpha". Pre-beta sounds like a "beta rc1".

      Okay, so there's no problem. Aurora isn't the name for a crashier-than-alpha beta. Beta is still beta, and it is more stable than aurora (the alpha).
