Please mark this as as 3.9a-unstable.

Actually it should be. Both the stable and the normal 3.9a should be 
equivalent, but to not mess up the changeset history please use the one 
you derived from the regular 3.8alpha stream as starting point for the 
regular 3.9alpha.

Luckily you do not have to wait through this again, but in your fresh 
3.8beta image you just need to execute the code in the last changeset 
#6351 again (the one asking you if you want to advance to 3.9alpha or 
stay with 3.8beta), and load regular updates for 3.9a after that 
(should be 5 updates, resulting in a 3.9a6404 image).

Thanks for all your work!
