RC binary version with a different name (i.e., qgisdev or qgisRC).<br>
Many users can afford<br>
regularly using the RC version, which would be the best and most<br>
simple way of testing and<br>
detecting (and critically valuating) the new features, but if and only<br>
if the stable qgis version (currently 1.7.4)<br>
is still there as fallback.<br>

Not sure how difficult/involved is making this coexistence to happen,<br>
but I think that the effort should be considered taking into account<br>
the gain in terms of real life testing.<br>

(I know compiling is an alternative, but it is one that will not be<br>
considered by most users).<br>
