Like in the old days: noone wants to try a "beta" or "snapshot" 
(except when he's got problems with the existing release). Call it 
"Preview Release" or "Release Candidate" and make it very easy 
accessible.

Even I as a long-time-user wouldn't know (without research) where to 
get and how to install a "snapshot". Is it this "Exp" thingy in 
"Setup.exe"? Where to get the "new" Setup.exe? If it was offered 
directly on http://www.cygwin.com/, lots of people would be curious 
and try.

Just to make my point clear: I have no problems with "betas". For 
example, I'm using Opera 7 since the first beta and I _even paid for 
the beta_...
