It is an open group. I thought Ben was over-reacting quite a bit myself.
The names are not completely set in stone (hey, testing was only
introduced recently - although I suspect that it's rather more
complicated than just a few symlinks to change), but the only reason
they're really important is because of problems with the release cycle,
and I would say it's probably more important to work on fixing those.
This has been better articulated elsewhere in the thread, so I won't try
again myself.
I would urge everybody involved in this discussion who has some
technical skill to think about helping to fix a bug or two a day. Every
one improves the quality of the distribution that little bit.
http://qa.debian.org/ has some useful links.
