wradio,
Although it's a tempting idea

, we believe it's not beneficial to the community at large:
Regarding beta releases, the goal is to gather feedbacks and bug reports in a concise way and timely fashion and the CB testteam is a structured place to gather feedbacks of beta release, and we are currently saturated with feedbacks.
Adding testers, or giving the current beta to larger circle will only slow us down at this stage, as it will add lots of noise and duplicate reports to handle. Please be patient, the day will come, and isn't far away
Just to give you an idea: CB testteam is currently 70 members, of which around 30 have tested beta 7, generating 120+ reports, and we had around 3000 messages to handle, just in last 2 weeks (in addition of course fixing the bugs). Adding people would multiply the number of messages, but only increase marginally the number of bug reports.
That's why we believe RC is the right time to extend the circle
