Comment(by JohnR123):

 The only site I can add a beta-tester plugin to, would be one of the local
 versions but I cannot get upgraded on these after installing the plugin.
 It returns an error when trying to upgrade. This may be due to ftp not
 being set up for the local sites on the local server. I'm not sure how to
 set that up so...

 The only site I can use the beta tester plugin and actually upgrade would
 be my live site, but how much of a risk is that? They explicitly warn
 against beta-testing on live sites.

 This being the case, do I have to wait until WordPress 2.9 comes out in
 the hopes that it will solve this issue? Why would they not want to fix a
 problem in the current release if it stops people from using their sites?
 I don't know where to turn really, except to another CMS/blogging
 platform. I don't want to, but what are my options?

 I was really hoping WordPress would look into this and fix it. I have read
 may 200 posts on this very problem. It obviously exists, and it certainly
 restricts free use of the system.
