Of course the user would have to make a conscious decision by enabling this “beta” release.
And of course the user makes a conscious decision to either compile from trunk if he wants the latest and greatest bugs and new features or to wait patiently until Taco thinks the software is ready and releases a beta.
I don't think that one extra week (or two or three or ... for that matter) makes any difference.
Also, it's not a matter of enabling but more making a drastic move... there is a complete infrastructure for switching the underlying handling of numbers and if there are bugs in the common layer it will influence traditional mp methods too. As mplib is a core component of luatex/mkiv it is unlikely that there will be a beta that has not been tested by taco and me on a bunch of documents that we normally use for testing drastic changes.
