I will also add that I did send the user@ list 4.0-alpha release notes, along with dev@, and also added to the @cassandra tweet last week. I thought those were acceptable to get a little wider audience, but didn't want to link from downloads page, since this is explicit.

"During the process of developing software and preparing a release, various packages are made available to the developer community for testing purposes. Do not include any links on the project website that might encourage non-developers to download and use nightly builds, snapshots, release candidates, or any other similar package. The only people who are supposed to know about such packages are the people following the dev list (or searching its archives) and thus aware of the conditions placed on the package. If you find that the general public are downloading such test packages, then remove them."

I think this is a good idea. I am +1 on making this more discoverable on our website. Please add instructions to report bugs and give us feedback around it.

I noticed we don't currently list the alpha in the downloads section.
Anyone object if I add the relevant information after the "Older supported
releases" section in the downloads page?  I'd make it clear that this is
alpha and non-production release, and we're soliciting feedback.
