I think it's better to send less fixes to -rc8 or -rc9 and focus more on
testing. That way there should be less regressions in later stages of
-rc releases and especially in the final x.y.0 release.

Most of the time I don't even consider updating to the stable releases,
I just wait for the next .0 release from Linus. For this kind of
workflow there is a clear advantage of slowing down patch flow before
the release, better chances of not needing to update the kernel that
often.
