I think that regular iso images of the recent versions of Darwin could 
help the beta testers and enthusiasts that has no "super-user" skills 
to build all the projects... Just like any other open source operating 
system do with it's beta, pre and release candidates...

This can stimulate many people about using Darwin and letting people 
give it a purpose, just like Rob said... That's would be easy to 
someone install the version 8.2 of Darwin, get DarwinPorts and 
beginning testing X, GNOME, KDE and other applications.
