Hmmm, this "issue" has been discussed before - though I am unsure about
what conclusion was made.
If I keep the alpha category - we will end up with lots of alpha/beta
categories, which I probably can't remove because packages and releases
will still refer to them.

I understand your objection "in theory" though. Perhaps we could
introduce a new 3.9 and then eventually remove the alpha category and
simply move those packages still left in there to the 3.9 category (or
just drop them)?
