In addition to what Geertjan said, I'd say VSNetBeans was the impetus, but not the only reason for doing this. We're not meant to be sharing links to unvoted sources or binaries, particularly when it's downloading directly from builds, anywhere other than on the dev@ list. If we move to having a beta a couple of weeks before freeze, a simple master snapshot that's been voted on, then we can put on dist.a.o and link as wide as we want for testing in the lead up to final freeze / release branching. We're hoping it'll help in making the quarterly releases more manageable.
