One of the points that Patchou makes when giving his beta versions to beta testers of WLM is that they must check if the bug is in WLM or Plus as it can be easily mixed up. When you are beta testing a program it is to report it's bugs, not to get it's new features before your friends. If you want to use a beta version of WLM then your first priority should be on finding its bugs and reporting them without interference of ANY add-ons.
That's true for the official Plus! testers. However, in the wild, there are far more people using alpha/beta (leaked) versions of Messenger because of the features (and to have something before their friends do) than they use alpha/beta's to actually test...
As said before, beta's can change so much it would be a real waste of time to try and make each (upcomming) Plus! version compatible with a
non-public WLM alpha/beta. Time which would be far better spend improving features of Plus!.
