This crowd is something of a masochistic bunch, as far as new releases go, isn't it? What could be better than 'nuking' your existing stable installation of 9.0/1 and install something, more for the enjoyment of finding out what's in there than usability :)
There's certainly a class of users (admins, e.g.) for whom early access and evaluation makes a lot of sense. It's also not universally the case that an "existing stable installation" must be sacrificed to evaluate a new release.
