I know it's a lot of work, but the alpha should be open to every stake holder and the dev team should practice giving out the coins to each stake holder. Simply because practice does give one valuable experience, and any unexpected mistakes can be learned from before the actual release of Nem. And prevent any possible future mistakes that would be ammunition for the trolls who want to bring Nem down.
Just a suggestion to avoid any possible future mistakes, and also to get feed back about how the whole process went, and it's pros and cons.
