Seems to be the day for rules questions.
Under the new rule you can rake a bunker at any time as long as that is to care for the condition not to improve your lie etc.
Imagine this situation....
I'm in casual water in a bunker so I'm going to take a drop. The part of the bunker where I'll drop is covered in footprints from some selfish sod earlier, or perhaps that part of the bunker was previously underwater and the sand is solid. Can I rake the bunker and drop in the area I've just raked?
OK, I'd be doing that to give myself the best possible lie after I drop but since I haven't actually dropped yet.....
