I agree with you. We should do the right thing and abide by our foundation
documents irrespective of the outcome of the vote.

This is one of the only compelling arguments I have seen thus far.
However, it seems to me that it is a far better idea to fix the problems
in testing than to try to fix them in a stable release.
If the kernel team, instead of letting Ben Hutchings's patches languish
in the BTS, were to upload a fixed linux-2.6, and the release team were
to hint it into lenny, I would change my vote.
Since that is not at all what has happened, I find it strange that
the release team thinks it should be trusted on this matter.
