Well, in many cases the beta is the latest, and i normally update the bate
every couple of days. Versions that taco and i exchange in the meantime
always concern tricky things that we neede to test for interference [i know
the context source kin dof by head and taco can run tex the program in his
head]. So, normally users are not that out of sync. [esp not when one
regularly updates beta's] 

There was a time that beta's were more private and when we move to cvs like
things, they will be moving targets. 

Sometimes macros are developped in the cause of a project, in which case
they can go public after a while, but not in the process of development. 

Also, some experimental code only makes sense to certain users, like
specific unicode things that are tested with wang lei who uses them.
