These totally need a prominent sign saying something to the effect of "These machines are running a new release of Athena for testing. If you run into problems on these machines ONLY, please email debathena@mit.edu. Please be sure to include the hostname of the machine."
And yes, my long-term plan is to get some beta machines out there, probably in W20 and 56 or 12.
When are you officially out of Next?

Probably making said subset of W20-575 permanently beta-linux suffices.
