Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:11 boklm]:
 > Because of the update -> update_2 directory change, alpha-2 users won't
 load this URL this time, so we could have stayed with only the no-
 update.xml and an .htaccess files, but it seems that the .htaccess file to
 do the redirection was missing.

 So for now Mike could:
   rm update_2/4.0-alpha-3*
 (I think).

 When we ship 4.0-alpha-4, everything inside update_2/ will need to be
 replaced with the newly generated files (remove everything and put the new
 files in place).
