Comment (by dd32):

 > I got the update for 3.7-beta1-25639-20130929 twice (midnight and noon
 today). Isn't that supposed to check if I'm on THAT version and only
 update if I needs updates?

 > Now, with core "Background Updates", it runs an upgrade twice daily, no
 matter if the latest is already installed, and sends an email about it.

 Yeah, We've got a limitiation of the API at present, we can fix it (We'll
 bump `$wp_version` for every nightly eventually) but for now, nightly
 users get twice daily updates - call it stress testing, we're running
 updates twice as often, twice the testing!
 We'll get the API fixed up at some point, just not immediately while we've
 got more important tasks pending.
