SDPhantom actually summed it up pretty well. When I first set this up with Blizz back in 2006, it was unprecedented. No other single group gets the access that our authors get. The opportunity for authors to get in before launch so that addons will be functional when it goes live is just too valuable to everyone - authors, Blizzard (so they don't get swamped with false reports of bugs that are actually because of broken addons) and users (so your addons all work when it goes live). We don't want to do anything to jeopardize it. I hope you can understand.
