So, the question is, do people think we should start putting them on PyPI? Is it worth some users on ancient pips inadvertantly getting (admittedly quite stable) prereleases? Would you use it, and would you be more likely to test Twisted prereleases if they were distributed like this (in addition to the tarball)?
Yes, I would and yes we should. Current (more than 1 year old) Ubuntu LTS comes with pip 1.5.4, CentOS 7 comes with virtualenv 1.10.1 which seems (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv/1.10.1) to come with pip 1.4.1.
