It depends. IMHO a procedure needs to be defined to get alpha related 
changes back into the main distro. If this doesn't exist, or you need to 
spend a lot of energy lobbying it in, then, based on past experiences 
with Mandrake, without fedora giving some commitment to the alpha 
platform, it's probably a waste of time.

Same applies to the other questions.
