Are you an idiot?
Confusion over an alpha release?
... So what if there are 8 alpha's? You expect it to go straight from alpha to beta? What about the number of bugs you miss in correcting that simple error - or the regressions?
There can be 200 'alpha' releases - and the terms of 'how close they are to release' depends on the feature set they're trying to achieve for the official Major/minor release.
Most people know that major's are for huge structural changes, minor numbers relate to big fixes to the code where people can experience 'bad things'(tm) and then anything after (alpha, beta, numbers) are reletively minor fixes and nightly builds..
