Same here.

I think anyone who has an Alpha is affected, but I'd like to hear
from people who have Alpha in production. -current will become
-stable and that's where the pain is felt eventually. I don't think
that the -current users are necessarily the right people to make
the decision. It probably applies double for me...

So far I've only heard that's not worth the trouble, but I'm not
convinced that avoiding any changes on the Alpha is less trouble.
