Mike,
that's a great idea. I for one would happily change from a fingernail-
biting "nightly" user to an excited "preview" user.
But I just want to say thanks for your careful work. I haven't updated
my nightly often, but it has never left me stuck and unable to deploy
a new version of my live customer applications.
Regards
Thomas
