In principle, yes; but I don't believe this would be useful, since it 
will make harder to track which bug happened in what pretest version.

I believe that a new alpha/beta version should only be released when 
known bugs are fixed.  This way, each test release is a candidate for the 
final release.

This is hard to accomplish: DJ's staging area (which includes the alpha 
and beta directories) is automatically resync'ed with SimTel.  If you 
move the test versions outside the staging area, the only way to get it 
would be by ftp to DJ's server, which would mean a significant load on 
the server.
