No -- doing this ends up taking up significant amounts of release engineering, testing, etc time. With only six month cycles, that would be even more painful for the n+1 release.

There are multiple testing releases done prior to release -- the best way to help improve the quality of the final releases is actually helping to test these pre-releases. And with the live images, it's easy enough and non-destructive, so there really is little reason not to.
