Because it is again our current policy and so it will be refused by the
Stable RM. Just face it: we have catched ourself into conflicting
decissions - when we release Sarge, people will start moving to
Multiarch and castrate the pool for well known reasons ("editorial
changes", you know). So a quick release of Sarge+1 is a warm hope, not
more. So the last chance to add amd64 for a larger period is
_now_, before the Sarge release happens.
Honestly, I think that if we keep the "usual tactics" of declaring
everything suspicous as RC and waiting-waiting-waiting-(did I already
say waiting?)-for-somebody-to-do-something, we will not release any
amd64 at all, not this year.
