I would feel the same way about any piece of OSS that I use.  I would expect
that most people on this list feel the same way.  What I'm trying to find out is
if there is another group of people we can reach by doing this that would join
the testing effort.  If we can reach a new crowd this way, then it's probably
worth it.  I started a poll on -users asking people to let me know if it is
something that would interest them.  We'll see how it goes.  If the response is
weak, then I'll probably change my opinion to be that we should just write a
section on asterisk.org called something like "looking for nightly builds?" and
explains how to use svn to achieve the same thing.
