This effectively means you do not want non-committers to test this proposed 
alpha release. Personally I believe this contradicts to the Apache Release FAQ 
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html which states:
 
During the process of developing software and preparing a release, various 
packages are made available to the developer community for testing purposes. 
(...) Test Packages are not Apache releases. All releases require due process 
and official approval. Test packages are for testing ongoing development and 
should only be discussed on the project development lists. 
 
Then again, if you do not want developer testing, I'm fine with it.
 
Kind regards,
Erik-Berndt

good catch. Actually I will rename the 2.0.0 version to 2.0.0.alpha1
And the issues not fixed I will move them to a new 2.0 version.

these are in my UNIX home directory on people.apache.org, only committers have
access to it.

(a release to be accepted by the PMC should be more visible to the public ? as
far as I remember the apache guidelines it should not)
