What are such checkers currently? Like, the ones that aren't clearly "missing 
limbs" and that have somebody happy to //address// feedback sent against them?

Do you have a chance to call out to your users for testing the checker and 
actively request feedback, as @Szelethus did on the mailing list?

I feel that we could do some sort of "early access checkers" programme, but i 
believe this would require a more careful PR than just dumping a list of alpha 
checkers on our users' heads.

Yeah, and these are pretty much the users we're trying to protect from 
themselves :)
