No, that'd be a bad idea.
Keep in mind that the rotors and mechanical parts are subject to wear and tear.
A rotor that's feathered experiences less mechanical stress and thus lasts longer. Same goes for any other moving parts.
It's a measure to increase the lifetime and reduce the risk of fires (e.g. from spinning too fast due to lack of mechanical load from the generator).
