For the backend status I think "alpha" is "works somehow, but may
crash or do unexpected things". "beta": "Works ok but not 100% stable
in all situations".

For the per-scanner status I usually use something like that: "alpha":
is detected and does scan something, but colors may be completeyl off.
"beta": works, but maybe not in all modes or up to the highest
resolution. "stable": everything works.

Usually if I put a comment after the scanner that describes something
that doesn't work it's not stable. But that's only my personal opinion.

Bye,
