FWIW:

We would definately beta test 7.1 beta releases on our test machines if RPMS
were made available.  However, if rpms are not made available, its unlikely
that anyone around here will get time to build the sources from scratch.  So
you can count me as one beta tester that you would have if you made RPMS of the
betas.
