Yes Scott, I think that's necessary. The current method is pretty dangerous
- let's take a real case from the last beta.

If I remember I ultimately ended up having to use i18 to address various
issues before it ran sufficiently "stable".  

There were plenty of messages in the Mail-Archive.com that suggested that
certain problems required the interims release iXX - AND where it would be
found.

Now, if some poor fellow would have installed the 1.76 beta a week later,
they would have done their due diligence, searched the mail-archive about
any caveats, read about the problem, read about downloading an interims
release (i28 or whatever) - and possibly end up with one that you wouldn't
want them to use.

You really can't fault the customer here - if anything, the person was very
thorough and acted entirely reasonable.

I concur that it is necessary to keep the "easily accessible" interims
release as "mainline code" and to place "debug code" at a unique URL.
