This post from the Ubuntu Discourse site offers an interesting read.
I specifically invite everyone search for, and read, the mention and scope of what is termed "spikes"!
I am sure it may trigger a lot of thinking, possibly about how to get attention on elements which are of specific interest to UbuntuMATE Community, but have a more generic scope
TL;DR - Essentially a new variant of the "daily" ISO, but for developers working on the literal edge (snap wise) since Canonical work in sprints(agile development) which they call "spikes". "Dangerous" as in, regular testers probably wouldn't need to use these images.
