I said release, not released. You're wanting a substitute for GOLD in the phrase "is hereby declared GOLD"? If you're stuck on making a declaration, then ended it with "completed" is fine. But I think "Fedora 18 Alpha Release Criteria have been met" is more clear about what has happened. Something declared completed will imply to some people that alpha as a process is completed, as another person has already mentioned, although it's perhaps a minor confusion.
