No.  We're trying very hard to get away from creating a new second-level
hierarchy for every topic.  We need to keep things reasonably well
organized into a sensible hierarchical fashion.

can.rec.motorcycles would (in my opinion) be the most appropriate for
the proposed newsgroup.

The proposal is not for a rec.* group, but rather for a can.* group.

The proposal was indeed for a can.* group, and originally proposed in
can.config.

I believe the proposal was for "can.rec.motorcycles", not
"rec.motorcycles" ...

That's irrelevant.  can.* is completely independant of any other
regional hierarchy.
