I believe that the Mesquite we use has custom code changes that do not allow for easily upgrading to a new version. But I will cc: to TreeBASE Dev for others, like Rutger, to chime in.

I have no view on this -- but others may.

We used to use it to test the Dryad-TreeBASE handshaking because demo-Dryad pointed to it, and the database was not refreshed from production every evening (this persistence making it easier to test new data added from Dryad). But I don't think we really use it much anymore. Dev and Production are probably sufficient, but again, I'll let others chime in.
