What's the status for this alpha release?

[avalonche]

Tested on goerli,sepolia and holesky and received payloads across all CLs. Good for goerli fork

[philknows]

Just want to confirm here that there's no additional changes we're waiting for and can continue using v1.7-alpha1 for Sepolia + Holesky forks?
