Because those have always had the power to command what developers do,

Ah, yes. So the security team will have to support both potato and
woody, because both will be stable on different architectures. Package
maintainers will have to support wildly different versions of their
packages in stable. All this until the other architectures get a new
stable release - which, if we only cared about raw numbers of users
rather than developers willing to do the work, would most likely be
never.
Great. Maybe it's time to fork Debian after all (which, incidentally,
you're quite free to do).
