Description
If you're running a development build, we append a 'Beta Testing' tab where we list plugins which are features in development (#28513). We should make this tab primary for the purposes of discovery.
Looking for a few affirmative nods.

As mentioned in IRC, I envision us someday getting to the point of "recommendations". In that line of thought, Beta Testing is like recommendations for people running dev builds. Can get behind it.

We should add a message to the top of this screen so it's clear what's being shown. Example:
"You are using a development version of WordPress. Below is a list of feature plugins which are also under development. Feel free to test them out and provide feedback [where?]."

Patch doesn't apply cleanly against trunk anymore. A message on top of the screen makes sense.

- Milestone changed from Future Release to 4.5
29631.2.diff is a refreshed patch that moves the 'Beta Testing' tab to the beginning and adds the following message to the top of the screen:
You are using a development version of WordPress. Below is a list of feature plugins which are also under development. Learn more.
I didn't add a link to provide feedback because there's no single way to do so and most feature plugins don't clearly state where to provide feedback either. Some readmes could be improved I guess :)
Moving to 4.5 for consideration.

Nacin suggested something along the lines of:
You are using a development version of WordPress. These feature plugins are also under development. <a href="%s">Learn more</a>.
