If its Eclipse milestones, you can skip the stable existing features
altogether :)
Seriously though, I think considering the apathy people have with checking
out from CVS and building by hand, and the confusion and fear of picking a
nightly build, the milestones are an excellent way to get bleeding edge
users the opportunity to try totally unstable stuff. If they don't get their
hands on new functionality before it becomes too stable, they will not be
able to shape it.
I'm definitely a fan of the balance that there has been between stability
and functionality in the milestones so far.
