Yesssss! That might also make those occasional point releases unnecessary.

Yeah, ideally. "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" is how I think it goes.

Yes it does, and I havent setup the tooling for this yet, when I do there will probably be a readme or some such in the folder indicating the timestamp and commit it was built from. And it will probably be in some other folder than betas. Maybe interim or something. And I *might* have the version number reported in the GUI change to show its a beta, depending how hard that is to implement.

I like "Early Access", as some developers call it. Preview seems more fitting than Beta, indeed.

Maybe "Preview" has the wrong vibe?
