Can I add my usual annoying bit ?
Please make these builds either harder to find or have some very clear 
warnings about using them ? You will have people downloading into a 
production site and then filling the forums. While that is entirely 
their problem if there are big notices, without them all it does attract 
crap to the forums and bad posts on blogs for your work.

Maybe a 'builds' forum - or maybe not even that, just posts here.
