So why not try for 6 month releases instead?
I would guess that most people want to get the DB when it is stable and
tested.

Does PostgreSQL compiles directly from sources on FreeBSD?
Is there an easy way to try Betas? At work I have several machines that I
could use to install/try out Beta and help out with the testing.
At work and production boxes I am going to stick to whatever there is a
port for FreeBSD.
