That rather depends on what functionality is missing and whether or not
the user uses it or not. Which ultimately means it's not alpha/not
alpha, but usable by the user. Some might say that compared to KDE3,
GNOME 2.22 is "missing functionality", but I also think that for those
who develop GNOME (or those who use it, for that matter) would hardly say
that makes GNOME alpha software.
