As a data point, having "stable" and "testing" stay around is very useful for CI purposes. For example on ci.debian.net all our setup uses "stable" and "testing" instead of the release codenames, and it's useful to have a system that does not need manual intervention when the meaning of "stable" and "testing" changes.
Ideally, a mapping of what is currently "stable" or "testing" or at other levels of support would be easy to determine programatically, so you could avoid manual intervention for those cases and make it easy to support other cases without having to either manually configure things *or* make a bunch of new ugly symlinks.
