In which way would it improve some architectures and not the overall Debian
quality? why would it reduce extensive testing of newer versions? Rejecting a
package which is not buildable on a spacific architecture, because of an
unpstream or maintainer fault, is a semi-automatic testing that can be
implemented.
If we let it in and then we auto-build it, we get a new package with FTBFS
(i.e RC) bugs and slow down release even more.
If we auto-build it first and, if no upstream/package faults, we let it in, we
get less RC bugs.
