Better an alternate config files directory, no? This was an issue in the kde3-4 transition also...

Possibly, but then 3.10 needs to know to look at 3.9's directory, 3.8's, 3.7's, etc. Maybe GNOME could use a "Trial session" mode where it stores all of the config changes in another place and then asks "commit/abandon" on logout?

It can be parallel-installed and you can test stuff when it's developing, but it does not affect your regular life at all. I really miss Chrome Canary on Linux, hope they'll add it at some point.

chrome-dev, chrome-beta and chrome-regular on linux can run side-by-side (different config directories)... but their deb packages conflict with one another, so you have to make some magic to install all of them...
