Problem/Motivation We finally have a stable version of Drupal 8! Even after two years of development, however, we still don't have a stable version of Flag. While the dev version is "stable enough" for use, we still do not support upgrades within the 4.x version. Not even having an alpha is a barrier for many users.

Proposed resolution Create an alpha release ASAP, even if it has outstanding criticals, kluges, or regressions. It's an alpha, after all, and this is more about saying "Yes, please use Flag!" than making it perfect.

Remaining tasks * ~~Identify which issues are preventing an alpha release.~~ * ~~Create a Flag alpha release as soon as possible, and begin to support upgrades within the 4.x version.~~ * ~~Work to resolve criticals, major regressions, and missing features during the alpha process.~~ * ~~Release betas when Flag hits zero criticals and zero missing features.~~ * Identify which issues, criteria, load testing, or waiting period need to be resolved before releasing 4.0. * Have some Irish Coffee or something.
