Nothing wrong with proposing for merging a branch that does
refactoring. It doesn't need to be tied to a bug or blueprint, but if
you wait until late in the Cactus cycle, it would have a smaller
chance of making it into Cactus since the priority is not refactoring
but instead stability and feature parity.

So, nothing stopping anyone from proposing refactoring branches.  :)
