So you want:
a) another intermediate release (eg Alpha 2)
b) 8 weeks between Alpha 1 and Beta 1
c) Move all the schedule 4 weeks to the front

I would not go with feature based releases, they just never ever get finished 
in time, and with small teams like ours it can get delayed forever, so let's 
do as we've always done, set some dates and put in the release as much as we 
can, if not there's always a new release around the corner.
