For day to day testing pulling from the development branch is equivalent.
What really matters when a new test release snapshot comes out is that
testers take the time to brutalize the install/upgrade process in
anaconda and make sure firstboot works as expected. Anaconda has seen
a lot of rework and deserves a subsequent amount of testing scrutiny
across as much hardware as possible.

I personally keep a older, smaller harddrive around just to do
anaconda based installs/upgrades using the test release media... and
then switch back to my "normal" rawhide install to test daily package
updates for the crap a use day to day.
