If you've created a cvs tag, and given it a real version number,
I'd call it a release, even if it's not a 1.0 relase.  alpha.gnu.org
has outlived its usefulness (evidenced by the fact that it is little
used) now that "alpha" code is available in CVS for most projects.

Note that alpha.gnu.org is not mirrored the way ftp.gnu.org is.
