As many Alphas as needed to make it usable.
SME 9.0 Beta 1
- Maturity is sufficient for widespread testing use
- contrib owners should start testing their own contrib packages
SME 9.0 Beta Y
At some point in the Beta cycle, as maturity improves and the rate of change slows, contribs should be tested.
SME 9.0 Beta X
As many Betas as needed to make it mature.
SME 9.0 RC 1
- Maturity matches SME 8.0
- Extensive testing need to prove maturity
SME 9.0 Final
- Maturity matches SME 8.0
