What is the average time for an alpha/beta feature to be promoted to stable
<p>1) I am wondering how long , on average, it takes for features in alpha/beta channels to become stable and move to the stable channel?</p>

<p>2) is it safe to switch channels back and forth? I noticed that every time I switched channels, the components are reinstalled. What happens to the old components? are they getting removed?</p>

<p>3) Would it be wise to start a project in alpha/beta channel? just wanted people's opinion.</p>
