Clone yourself and make yourself a slave to the buildds for 7 or 8 architectures, so that the release team doesn't have to. Neither the release team nor the FTP team is interested in being responsible for keeping all of these architectures afloat. You can either step up and make sure the architectures you care about are in good shape for etch, or you can be a whiny brat expecting everything to be handed to you on a silver platter and accusing people of being members of a Canonical-controlled cabal when they do you the courtesy of informing you about their personal priorities for etch.
