One of the really nice features of NB has been the fact that you can run
dozens of versions installed in parallel (I usually only have not more than
four).

I grew accustomed to living on the nightly builds and, fortunately, if one
doesn't work you run "uninstall" and wait a couple of days and try
again...assuming you are interested in the new feature usually announced by
Gj in one of his blog entries.  Seems like a few days before a new
"version" release the nightly builds were not available while the release
version was pulled together.  I found this procedure to be very handy.

Seems like this process could still be done with Git/Apache....why not?  I
think it's unique and I'm not aware any of the competitors who provide that
service (maybe Eclipse does -- not sure).  As I write Jenkins is building
#473 and I'm running on #470.  Maybe we just need to make the Jenkins
builds more obvious for those of us who like to bleed and keep the
"versions" on a cadence that is convenient for developers.  What is best
for developers?

My $.02.
