Like in the old days: noone wants to try a "beta" or "snapshot"
(except when he's got problems with the existing release). Call it
"Preview Release" or "Release Candidate" and make it very easy
accessible.
Even I as a long-time-user wouldn't know (without research) where to
get and how to install a "snapshot". Is it this "Exp" thingy in
"Setup.exe"? Where to get the "new" Setup.exe? If it was offered
directly on http://www.cygwin.com/, lots of people would be curious
and try.
Just to make my point clear: I have no problems with "betas". For
example, I'm using Opera 7 since the first beta and I _even paid for
the beta_...
