No argument - just figured I'd offer to get past the near term
resource issue, presuming that having a beta installer available is
better than not, even with some build-environment difference risk.

I could probably commit to a longer term too, but it sounds like
Ronald is still on board for that.  I've also been a little hesitant
since there's clearly a lot of effort that has been put into the Mac
build stuff and I didn't want to be the inexperienced bull in the
china shop compared to those who have been doing it for a while.

I'm happy to stick with the buildbot side of things for now, and
remain willing to assist in any changes to better match the buildbot
builds to the final distribution process for more aligned testing.
