If you divide Debian into many sections which are upgraded more or
less independently you don't have *a* new distribution, you have
dozens. I don't see what a new 'rc' branch would be good for; isn't
testing supposed to be used for what you said?
Too many branches also increase the time it takes for a package to get
to stable.

Too big flames tend to burn things. If unstable were really unstable
only few people would use it, and many bugs would move straight into
testing.
