It depends on the level of change.  I agree that small changes should not be
put into the sandbox.  But it is up to the developer to make that call.

And, not all comitters will have access to both core and sandbox.  Or at
least I hope that is the case.  I would like to see a lot more developers
with sandbox access.  Then, when they come up with a useful modification to
core classes, they can commit them to the sandbox (with match test cases!)
and anyone could try it out, modify, whatever.
