Ah, no, please report bugs, the earlier the better. We need to get bugfixes into mainline ASAP to make sure that .37 is a useful release, at least within its expected range of functionality. (Linus is generally unhappy about non-regression bugfixes beyond about -rc3 - bugfixes for a new feature indicate that the feature wasn't ready for upstream and should simply be disabled or reverted for that release.)
