In fact by definition it's people running pre-release for whatever reason who are doing the testing! And even if you don't want, or don't think you're wanted, to fill out test matrices, you can still provide feedback on individual packages. People with the time, resources and inclination are more than welcome to run beta.
Of course. And, if you're running beta, you need to understand that the software you're using may not be ready for prime time yet. I've seen enough threads on various support fora from users running beta and expecting it to be as well polished and bug free (ha!) as production versions to know that there are an awful large number of people who think that beta means "latest and greatest."
And, as far as running beta goes, I have the time and the resources, but not the inclination. Cleaning up after an upgrade hung, or otherwise failed so that I don't have to do a complete re-install and figure out what packages I forgot to select is about the biggest job I'm willing to get involved in any more.
