Then we should phrase this in terms of firing the ftp-masters?

Branden communicates on debian-x. If he doesn't want to talk to
Daniel Stone privately, that doesn't mean that Daniel Stone can't
communicate to the X Strike Force. There is no mailing list to
communicate with you, and it is unacceptable for a developer to have
no means to communicate with the ftp master.

So you are making my life harder and degrading Debian for purely
petty reasons. Thanks; really appreciate it.
Before it's in Debian, AMD64 is already the fourth most commonly
used architecture according to popularity-contest. There's only
three architectures sold in stores to the average person--ix86,
PowerPC and AMD64. 95% of the packages are already compiled for
AMD64. There is no technical reason not to add it into unstable.
If AMD64 is being held up soley for petty reasons, then this vote
isn't about technical issues, it's about political issues.
