Since you quoted me, a point of information: sponsored binary uploads
are not the same as unofficial buildds, and I was talking strictly about
the former. If you hadn't quoted the smallest possible part of my mail
then this would have been obvious to readers. Various people seem to be
conflating the two issues, though.

That said, I do continue to think that it is a good thing to have the
set of buildds that build sarge before release be operated in as close
as possible to the same way as the set of buildds that build security
uploads for sarge. Not only do we need to release sarge, but we need to
release something that can be supported after it's released.

Cheers,
