When we approve a release, it should generally default to alpha. As confidence grows in the release and branch, we can vote the stability classification up. The last thing you want to do is roll a new release to increase a release's stability classification. If you haven't read it before, I'd suggest looking at HTTPD's release guidelines (http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html) under "What can I call this release?" -- Owen --000e0cd3502e15e1f504b0b36135--
