The problem with that approach is that it gives Mike something to do. And he's busy enough already.

On top of that, there's a lot of bug tracking involved in a beta release, and if everyone downloaded it, we'd be snowed under in duplicate bug reports.

That's why we decided to go with a restricted set of people for the v1.1 alphas. That and the fact that we need them to sign an NDA, which is difficult to arrange for everybody.
