No blockers for an alpha as far as I'm concerned.

* You might consider porting the simplification to keycode mapping from
  the Lua branch:

    
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/zile.git/commit/?h=lua&id=12f17f1b0a3ce30e2a803113fa6fd7f430ea7b1b

  Although, I've reintroduced the bug with quoted-insert, which I'm
  currently fixing, so if you want to put that in the alpha, please
  check for a followup that lets tests/interactive-quoted-insert.el
  work again :)

* The FAQ entry on C-h/F1-F4 could do with updating again in light of
  our long discussion about Terminal.app, which I'll do presently...
  while I like your simplification, rebuilding against a newer curses
  is both difficult and unnecessary for the terminfo problems on
  Mac OS X, so I think that is worth mentioning.

* It would be nice to agree on and implement a splash-screen format
  on the active branches too, per the famous (/me takes great care to
  paste the correct URL):

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-zile/2011-08/msg00037.html

But none of these should hold up an alpha release IMHO.
