You are basing your actions on supposed requests from DDs to shut down your buildds. That's why the distinction matters.

Shouldn't a specific request from a Debian Leader (whatever their title may be) be required before anything is shut down?Erm, running buildds and building doesn't make sense when you can't upload the packages afterwards. If people shout that they don't like our uploads,there's no need to explicitly tell us to stop the buildds.No. Why should it?
IOW, you are giving authority to the DDs who complained instead of telling them "this is the way things are now, come up with a proposal that fixes everything and we'll take a look at it after the release".
Congratulations, you have successfully created a situation when there need not have been one.But an official request by the DPL to turn them on again would help andclarify the situation.
You will always have complaining about security, tell them to put up or shut up and be done with it, not stopping a working system.
