Agreed about the vast list of features. I was thinking about some users who
would want to see the Solr admin UI and run few queries using dismax or
edismax etc and see how they work on the latest version of the software.
And this can also be a CI stack instance, which would deploys the latest
trunk/RC and run the sample index scripts on regular basis (nightly). I am
hoping that no one would commit broken code into Trunk.

Anyways, just an idea!
