My point is that weekly releases is too fast and will be confusing. People 
will be testing beta N, and reporting next week what they've found, only to 
run into people already testing beta N+1 and unable to reproduce the same 
situations.

Maybe I'm wrong. The kernel does have weekly release candidates, so why not 
us?
