Yes! Yes! I totally agree. Current Alpha stage is absolutely overextended.
It proved to be extremely valuable, since there are those brave people who
use our current code on production projects and tell us what sucks and what
is broken. But the time has long come to get over it.
How about this: Alpha 6 is the last Alpha, after we integrate big Andriy's
piece, we target beta 1.
Two more things I would want to see in Beta are [B|C]LOB support (at least
read-only), and stored procedure support (at least at the query level).
Those were my early commitments, but as usual I got distracted by other
things. Those 2 things will really make Cayenne ready for 1.0. If
PostgreSQL support comes along by then I would really welcome it tough.

I hear you. We must stop with new features. Actually when we go to Beta and
someone really needs to stick in a new feature, we may just branch in CVS
for 1.1.
