This was definitely not the case for me, as I was not able to boot with the alpha on my Acer laptop, but was with the Dec. 2 daily build. (see Bug #173329 ). The only reason that I propose the links be put up is to give a tester another chance to test development releases if the initial release doesn't "work" for them. As stated before, this could reduce the volume of bugs reported pertaining to this issue - which is always a good thing. (see Bug #173214 )

I'm recommending that the release team adds links onto the notes (not necessarily taking over the initial release links) - to what extent, it doesn't really matter - just as long as testers know that it is an option, and can be used in place of the initial release should any problems spark up.
