Other projects, Fedora included, have an open beta program. What makes
you different?
Anyone who wants to run the latest Ubuntu can get it thusly:
rsync --times --partial --perms --copy-links --times
--block-size=$((6*1024)) --stats
rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/daily/current/*i386*.iso
I'm sure it often doesn't install; getting it is really easy.
So is getting rawhide - my IAP mirrors it (just as well too, I say).
Getting Debian's bleeding edge is simple too.
What is so hard about saying, "This is likely crap. Take it or leave it?"
