As it fixes various roadblocks, in my particular case, we are eagerly waiting for an official release. Also when it will be picked up by stackage. I run my tests with 9.6.1α and it hit the homerun.

At this point it is pretty likely that alpha2 will be the last alpha. All that remains is a release candidate (likely in two weeks) followed by the final release (another week or two later).
