Bug fix beta's

I know that once a beta is rolled out there are no more public commits (which makes sense). However, is it possible to have an alpha release that is packaged from a branch that the devs can still commit to? I would love to be able to roll out fixes over-night while still staying in the main upgrade path.

In theory, the idea is a good one. But in practice, I don't think Subversion is sophisticated enough to handle something like that. You're talking about making changes on multiple branches at once. It's bad enough right now that we have to make a number of changes on multiple branches. This would just make the problem much worse.
