A feature is not an island which should be visited individually. Take Falcon, for example; we want to see it as a plugin in 5.1. That would allow us to actually review it, use it in development, perhaps even on a production slave, and find and report bugs. A feature preview is not going to do that.

In the example you cited the community user may have to wait days or weeks (or longer) for the bug fix to be made available in an Enterprise binary, let alone the community binary.

They are totally unrelated. Early access to features is provided with the several software previews mysql provides. http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Category:Software_Preview The split allows MySQL to provide binaries to paying customers more frequently. If a community member is experiencing a bug which has been patched but for which no community binary exists they can easily download the source repository and build it them selves. Originally there were some differences in the capabilities in the community and enterprise versions (i.e. community had profiling). Now this differences is no more.
