How many beta testers out there *rely* on a package to do their testing?
I'm not saying don't try and get packages in place, I'm just saying it
shouldn't be a requirement to stamp code BETA and create a tar ball ...

Well, they can just grab nightly snapshots and test, right?  I don't
think a beta is fundamentally different from a nightly snapshot,
source-code wise.

doesn't really give a good reference point for testing purposes ... if everyone downloads BETA2 and tests, they are all testing the exact same code ...
