I appreciate and applaus Otto's posts too, but can we please agree on 
debian/unstable, debian/experimental, debian/trixie, ... as our *default*?
while still "allowing" debian/latest and and also debian/3.11 and
debian/3.12 and debian/foo and debian/bar?

I've come to think that dep-14 should recommend debian/* and more
specifically debian/unstable for uploads to unstable.

(And since this is a rather newer fallout from 
http://ppc64el.reproduce.debian.net/ I thought I would share.)
