Central-extension conjecture for rational quotients of finite solvable groups

Let GG be a finite solvable group. Central-extension rationality conjecture. There exists a central extension

1ZGcG11\longrightarrow Z\longrightarrow G^c\longrightarrow G\longrightarrow 1

with a faithful representation VV of GcG^c such that V/GcV/G^c is rational. This would reduce rationality questions for quotients by finite solvable groups to suitable central extensions; the supplied text gives no resolution.
