However, users who habitually keep their system up to date on a day to
day basis may welcome new beta releases, but find being prompted with
new bzr packages daily to be an undesirable drain on their attention and
their network bandwidth.

I feel that there remains a valid use case for preferring betas to
nightlies.

I was musing on #bzr recently about trying to help revive the
~bzr-beta-ppa, although I have to admit that I've subsequently become
somewhat distracted moving house.
