Well, a proper release requires efforts that involve many people
(mostly testing), which is why they are not as frequent.  The fact
that the nightly builds are as accessible as normal distributions
contributes to the fact that there is no pressure in getting a lot of
beta releases out before v300 is ready.

The main problem is that regexps in MzScheme can operate in input
ports, which makes it impossible to just drop in some library.  (I
tried it once with PCRE.)
