Only if those architectures don't have sufficient community support. I
really cannot see the problem with that - you want to release
architectures that aren't well supported as 'Debian stable'? I don't.
Under the terms of the proposal as laid out, all 11 architectures
shipping with sarge _could_ ship with etch (although they might not be
mirrored so widely). It is just up to the porters to make sure this
happens.

Criticize away - just criticize what it actually says. I understand
there is a lot of emotion around this issue, but it seems to me a lot of
people are letting that emotion get in the way of a clear understanding
of the proposal, and that's not helpful at all.
Take care,
