I was curious about the opportunity to evaluate point upgrades prior to 
release.

I use Stretch for my daily driver laptop (Dell Latitude E6520) and UniFi 
Controller VPS.  I also have a Stretch USB flash drive instance for 
maintenance.  I use FreeBSD for my servers.  I need to migrate the daily 
driver to Buster, but Buster does not like the Optimus graphics in the 
E6520.  So, the plan is to sell the E6520, get a newer laptop with Intel 
graphics alone, put Buster on that, and migrate.  Migrating the VPS will 
likely involve backing up the existing instance, creating or leasing a 
new UniFi Controller instance, restoring onto the new instance, and then 
switching DNS.  Creating a Buster USB flash drive instance should be easy.

I have seen "buster" and "buster-updates" (and prior equivalents), but 
never "buster-proposed-updates".

A fresh install of the current Stable point release would be the 
canonical starting point for testing proposed Stable point release 
updates.  This is an ideal use-case for virtualization.
