No.  The purpose of the rc cycle is to _stabilise_ things, which means 
that people should _focus_ on stabilising things.

If you give them enough to play with, they just get sidetracked, and the 
stabilisation is left to... Junio.  Which is not only hard on our good 
maintainer, but outright mean.
