Surprisingly, they stopped their mirror on November 18, before we'd put all
of the "README.DONT.USE.THIS" files and so on in place. If they'd seen that
file they probably would not have copied the archive. I think having an
ALPHA-TEST subdirectory is sufficiently clear.

I suggested some time ago to call the directories:
release-0.93
Another possibility is to have an unreadable directory named 1.0, with
instructions in the README file on how to navigate through it. The
idea being, if you don't read the instructions you don't see the
files.

Perhaps we should adopt a different naming convention for unreleased
versions. E.g. instead of 1.0, call it 0.93+0.07, or 0.9x-unstable.
