My personal opinion based on what I have seen in the forums is that 
there's very few users who really download a nightly build to try out 
new things. I do know there are some who do that and do report issues, 
but most of the times, it's only when there's some kind of announcement 
about a "release", they try out the version. So I think having a CR (if 
not a Beta) a couple of weeks before the actual release, backed by an 
announcement about the CR would help get some real usage for that version.
