AFAI can tell, anybody can host an archive of packages built from stable sources for a scc or unofficial port. And - if I read the conditions on becoming a fully supported Debian arch right - then having security support for an external pool of this arch is a good indicator that it should be a fully supported stable release (amongst other things). If on the other hand nobody can be found to recompile packages after DSAs are released for this arch, I believe the arch shouldn't be released for Debian as stable.
