Last week, Microsoft rolled out 2020 builds of Windows 10 to Insiders who have opted into Skip Ahead. These builds are from a version of Windows 10 that is expected to be released in the first half of 2020, they feature some things that require a longer lead time:
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing a new build to Insiders who have opted into Skip Ahead. These builds are from the 20H1 development branch. Some things we are working on in 20H1 require a longer lead time. We will begin releasing 19H2 bits to Insiders later this spring after we get 19H1 nearly finished and ready; once 19H1 is “nearly finished and ready” we’ll also use the Release Preview ring for previews of drivers and quality updates on 19H1.

IMPORTANT: As is normal with builds early in the development cycle, builds may contain bugs that might be painful for some. If you take this flight, you won’t be able to switch back to the Fast or Slow rings without doing a clean-install on your PC and starting over. -- Microsoft's Dona Sarkar and Brandon LeBlanc
Not bad that they're already testing this considering how broken the last update for Windows 10 was.
