[Adium-devl] Automatic update to betas?

[Jordan Weiss]

If I remember the conversation, the key was to keeping it from normal  
users was to not have a preference, and require use of terminal to  
turn on the option?  I am not sure if that takes care of Peter's  
concerns, but I at least thought it made enough sense.
