I've actually suggested -rc stable cycles for the purpose of getting -rc stable kernels into users hands by making it possible for distros to ship these as proposed/test kernels by giving them enough time (right now the review cycle is only a few days, making it impossible for distros to ship them). As Guenter and Greg mentioned, there's already a fair amount of testing being done on the queue branches, but there's really no testing being done by end users before they receive a final kernel.
