I didn't say r.d.n should start as official service immediately, I said
one should give interested people the possibility to provide a reliable
service to prove their idea works.
This is a bit different than backports.d.o, which is a pure optional
service extension to traditional repositories. If there is a backport
for a certain package good, if not: no problem neither from a conceptual
perspective.
However for a rolling distribution one would not provide some packages
in addition to those regularly available through repositories, but
provide official maintainer uploads from unstable after a while /and
support them/. At least the latter calls the original maintainer to
account again, even outside of freeze periods and perhaps in a more
timely manner as Sid requires this by people by now.
Don't get me wrong, I don't claim this wouldn't be case by now already
and many maintainers do a great job anyway. My point is that Raphaels
approach needs itself a certain service level in order to provide the
same service level to rolling users itself.
This is, in turn what you call from him in order to accept a potential
rolling branch. How should he though, if people are not willing to help
at least passively which gives him a chance to provide a good service?

Since it does not exist yet, no one did. I apologize for my words which
have been a bit more rude than necessary. I think I outlined above what
I mean.
