Its a tough choice - I remember a while back you mentioned the possibility of using an in-place binary update service (I forget the name of the framework) so that we could incrementally update our .app bundle. It would be awesome to start with the nightly builds using this approach so that we can just get the delta of changes each night. Otherwise I would probably opt to continue with the same strategy you currently have for nightlies (requiring shared frameworks for GDAL etc) and introduce slim (probably more like ‘fat’) builds for the actual released versions of QGIS for OS X (so that they can be installed sans shared frameworks from William).

While brew is nice, it requires testers to install a lot of stuff on their system in order to be able to test QGIS nightlies, so I would prefer that brew is marketed as a tool for dev rather than for testers.
