I'm considering deploying Phobos unstable builds that track new work 
closely (as opposed to waiting weeks for a new dmd release, or 
downloading and building Phobos from svn).

The unstable build would be relatively convenient to get via http 
download and would include the std/ tree and the associated phobos.lib 
or libphobos2.a file. Also, there would be updated documentation 
foreshadowing the official documentation on 
www.digitalmars.com/d/phobos/2.0/.

Is there interest in something like this? Walter granted me permission. 
If enough votes are gathered, I'll set things up.

Well, one of the things that often keeps me from playing with pre-release Phobos
builds is that often those builds only work on unreleased compilers.  As long as
this is the case, I don't see how this would be of much benefit.

Yah, indeed. With time I hope two distinct phenomena will happen. One, 
there will be fewer changes to dmd, and two, we will get to distribute 
pre-release versions of dmd as well.
