No, I'm saying that giving requested feedback on a current nightly build
is an order of magnitude more useful than feedback on the previous release.

Consider the case where the devs aren't certain what's causing your
problem, and can't replicate it themselves. They think the problem might
have been solved by the current beta. Unless you install the beta and
are still seeing the problem, there's a pretty good chance that no
further work will be done on your problem. In that scenario, you're
basically stuck waiting until 6.5.2 is released to see a fix. And
historically, x.y.2 releases of Slimserver take much longer to come out,
if they ever do, than x.y.1 releases do.

If, on the other hand, you do try the beta and can confirm that the
problem still exists, then the devs will keep working on it and it might
actually get fixed in 6.5.1.
