The milestone looks about halfway complete.  
The gem version has been set to `6.0.0.alpha1`.  
Is it at a point where bug reports derived from real usage would be helpful? Or is it expected to be in a fairly broken state still?

I found the 6.0.0 Upgrade Guide! I’m trying to figure out how much work remains to make running the 6.0.0 alpha feasible. I’m very interested in the move to dry-transformer.
