Not to get into all that again (you can read the archives), but SubVersion doesn't lend itself to easily using branches. So I don't think the problem is the lack of developers wanting to test new features in other branches, but rather the effort (and time) forced by the repository system used. I simply don't have the time to wait 5 minutes for a new branch to be checked out, to simply find it totally useless, and then wait another 5 minutes to checkout out the previous branch I was using. Not everybody has super fast internet or uncapped bandwidth - which such testing with SubVersion would require.
