Hopefully when some bright guy at Apple finally says: Hey, we're at DP7 / PB5 already? Lets stop this madness with delta updates, and lets release a full installer again.

Wow! I just realized that.
Disk Utility has been redesigned, and has become kind of useless, unless the rest of feature are hiding somewhere under a Terminal tweak.
EDIT: Found this link, which may or may not help us understand the changes to Disk Utility:

In terms of updated interface elements and such both the Public Beta and Developer Beta are in sync. Thus far I haven't been able to spot any user facing differences. Up until this pulled update that is.

That could mean a lot more updates. Lets hope the App store can handle the traffic.
Not necessarily. Permissions are protected by System Integrity Protection (SIP), so the odds of anything ever happening to them is pretty slim.
Besides, wasn't "repair permissions" proven to be a placebo and not really do much? Anyways, under El Capitan there is zero reason to worry about them because it's all done automatically.
According to that article, only Apple update will have the ability to get deeply into the system. It's a notable backdoor and might be great as long as Apple is not pressured to privately share it with NSA/govt.
If hackers figure out a way to get behind that wall, it will be very difficult or impossible for the user to do anything but wait (and wait) for to issue a patch.
Repair permissions can be a very useful tool and is not a placebo.
Repair permission doesn't do much outside of the system folders, it depends on BOM files. For 99% of the population, it is useless now that Apple is protecting the system folders by default.
If hackers figure out how to breach SIP, trust me, repairing permissions will be the least of your concern and will not fix anything, period.
Nitpicking.. not my style but nope, there aren't any other than DP1 / PB1 so far. It's ridiculous and incomprehensible to expect everyone subscribed to both programs to have to go through half a dozen downloads/updates depending on each other in case something is borked and you need a reinstall.
With Yosemite Betas, there was an interim full installer released as DP5/14A314h (nice to have TM for checkin'
)

If you download the full public beta installer from your purchases tab, you will find it uses the most recent version of the public beta. I would know, I had to do so.
Okay, haven't had to use this variant with the dev versions yet. Trust you on that one

Thought I would let you know that my sleep/wake issues is fixed (so far) with today's update. Hopefully it's resolved for you as well!

Are Extensions for the Photos App still completely disabled for everyone? It would be nice to test this feature, but my 3rd party apps which offer extensions for iOS version are still not live for OS X Beta 5.
