Early access

[jayrmotta]

I had this idea we could have, like ESP-Miner has, an early access branch/build. We could discuss what would go in the branch like draft vs ready pull requests, or whatever criteria we agree on.

People interested in volunteering to test and provide feedback could run that branch, if they notice something that could serve as feedback they can report it back to developers in the repo.

We talked about this on today's dev call (#81). Restating my take here:

I like the goal. What I would rather not do yet is keep an official early access branch in the main repo, because a second branch is real maintenance work and needs a committed owner.

The good news is nothing about this needs to be official. If someone wants to gather the interesting open PRs, regularly merge and rebase them into a branch in their fork, and advertise it for testing, please do. That is roughly how linux-next works: an integration branch a volunteer maintains alongside the normal merge process. If a mujina-next like that proves useful and its maintainer sticks with it, making it official later could be a conversation.
