I don't think it's good practice to have one's sources.list pointing to
'stable'. I always change mine to the release name I want to use.
But anyway, this is very far offtopic and is not really productive, since
nobody is seriously talking about dropping architectures (yet). When that
time comes I will be happy to participate in a conversation involving
logistics. For now I will just say that I don't think the logistics are
very complicated.
