*THAT* I have a problem with. I don't consider these any different than our nightly snapshots or a different commercial "build" of an Apache project. In both of those cases, announcements about them or promoting them over the official project supplied releases is, IMO, not acceptable on the *users* list. If you want to point a couple of your users at them to help test things or similar, fine as a lead up to 3.0.4. But they cannot be considered "general available" things similar to releases.
