More people with access to betas = more support issues.  Been there done that, have the thousands of garbage gemini posts to prove it (just ask Alex and Shawn).  Instead we have chosen to move to limited betas, with a manageable number of testers, who each have a strong business interest to ensure that DNN continues to work well and be relatively bug-free release after release.  These are not people who have a passing interest in seeing the latest DNN version, but people who have a vested financial interest in ensuring the success of DNN.  I will take a couple hundred really dedicated beta testers over a 100,000 interested users any day, because the former are likely to give me better feedback about real issues and not have us wasting time educating users about basic DNN concepts.  We get enough posts in the install-it forums to tell us that an open "beta" will only add confusion to what needs to be a very methodical process.
