I think it would be worthwhile to occasionally (every 3 months or so) package a Py2.4 pre-alpha release. My feel is that a number of people without compilers (Windows users especially) would enjoy working with the latest python if it were an easy thing to do (has an installer, etc).
Besides increasing community involvement, this could open up a whole new stream of user feedback so we can discover issues sooner rather than later. Since non-developers stress the system in different ways, they are more likely to surface various documentation, usability, and integration bugs.
An opening message could be added that clearly states that everything is subject to change, under development, non-production, etc.
