I forgot to mention another interesting option:
DD -> unstable -> testing -> releasable
where releasable it's testing with only RC-free packages.
at some moment we either "freeze" releasable or copy it in a separate
freeze suite (freeze := releasable), which would behave as you
described.
This way a reasonably stable and up to date set of package would
always be available, letting a CDD to schedule independently its own
freezes and releases.
