People who want to be helpful in pretesting should get the pretest tarballs. That's what they are for.

I see no point whatsoever in starting a tutorial about CVS branches on the Emacs web page. And I see little reason to act surprised that without doing anything, one will continue to update to trunk instead of EMACS_22_BASE or any other branch.
I think that you maybe are misunderstanding some things.- I am uploading the binaries for w32 from the CVS for others to test. I do not use the unpatched binaries myself.
- I do not currently want to spend time setting up for doing the same thing for the tarballs too.
- There is nothing on the Savanna page mentioning EMACS_22_BASE. I just did a fresh checkout and did not get EMACS_22_BASE. I guess that is pretty simple to understand (as is nearly everything we can understand at all) if one knows CVS. I do not know that.
- If I complain about something I am not doing that because I just want to complain. I did find the current situation less useful.
