Alpha state no longer makes sense

Hi Anthony,

Now that CryptLib has been used as a basis for \Zend\Crypt and is linked from the ZF2 manual, I think you should at list publish it as a beta 1 or even stable. I understand that you would want users to use it at their own risk but it really doesn't make a good impression when users come here from the ZF manual and read that the software is in alpha while the framework they're using is stable. I just doesn't add up from a communication perspective IMO.

Regards,
Markus

The problem with raising the bar, is that the encryptor parts are not finished. Since it's not feature complete (and there are still API changes needed), I don't feel comfortable upgrading it to beta status...

I understand. Maybe a clarification in the root readme would help people to have both the right trust and the right causion.
