I'm confused by Moonchild's post here. If the unstable version of Pale Moon is no longer available, how will new versions of PM be real-world tested? Or did I misunderstand that post?

There will still be dev versions in every day use. It just won't be published in this way.

Was there a particular reason for this change (organisation issues, update issues, etc) or not?

Yes there was. I'm not likely to do things without reason.

Is it possible for a "non-dev" to test the unstable builds? If so, how, please?

No it's not possible. We don't publish unstables anymore.
