I think the best approach, in order NOT to confuse anyone including 
ourselves, I would suggest to call these release: daily builds. ONLY 
when a daily build is ready to be called a milestone, only then we can 
use Alpha, Beta and RC. Otherwise, daily builds are the safest name if 
you ask me :)

Mixing RC with Alpha is not good idea at all, IMHO. Sorry, just trying 
to be clear ...

Thanks everyone for everything .. we're the best :D
