Wordpress Betas, Good thing or bad thing?

[tekiegreg]

So I decided to get more on the bleeding edge of Wordpress.  Downloading 3.6 RC2 and installing on my blog.  So far so good... Of course I took a precaution and backed up all my databases so I could flatten everything and reinstall from scratch if needed.

 

For everyone out there, anyone ever have issues with downloading/installing a Beta?  I'll play along and try later Beta's and Release candidates of the newer versions I think.  See what happens.

The core utilities of Wordpress themselves *should* be fine. I think the majority of issues (if any) you'll run into will be related to your plugins/themes not supporting the RC versions.
