Only developer could benefit from gaining access to latest builds in order to participate in project development. Users would be more than happy to use the same software version as long as they can. I meet users that ask me the same boring question: why do we need to upgrade to the new version and why do we need to learn using this software again and again and ....? They understand the need of fixing bugs and happily welcome some minor improvements but are not interested in applications as such. Software is like hammer - it's a tool. People don't care about hammers unless they can build what they want. People don't want to install software - they want to use it!
