I like the idea of improving accessibility, especially
for testing purposes.  Windows users, and admins too,
are accustomed to binary installs.

But I would be prepared to put money on the
probability of someone putting a snapshot binary into
production somewhere.  I suggest that the download
page have prominently displayed severe warnings about
the advisability of using unstable versions for
production.
