It's alpha software, people should be considered as being aware that using it might break stuff.

Furthermore, people should be smart enough to read about the known issues prior to installing it.

Yes a warning and blacklisting the e1000 driver should be done, but revoking an alpha because of a (serious) bug just doesn't seem the answer to me, because it blocks you from finding other issues that might bite people when the official release gets out.
