Reading all the controversy over Apple's release of OSX yearly, and the 
complaints over constant new features making it into the GA, what if 
Apple had its own Fedora-style testbed OS, where new features, kernels, 
apps, could be put out for people who want to test the OS and want to be 
on the bleeding edge.
Would doing something like this lead to a more stable final release of 
OSX?  Stuff could be tried out, tested and if passed the QA tests, roll 
out in the next final release.
