I don't think I ever officially asked. But I would be surprised if 
they'd be willing to
do this: major releases go through this whole long beta cycle which 
patches don't
get. And they seem to be pretty conservative about what goes into 
patches
even for their own software: new goodies like iSync and Safari were 
officially
"beta" for a really long time even though a large part of the community 
were
already using them for everyday work.
