What ad hominem attacks are you referring to? And I am self
righteous, am I? You really expect to continue a civil discourse after
calling people self righteous?

We release Debian at one time, so one does not need to
maintain different versions of source packages as stable for various
architectures, one need not look to see which version was released
for which architecture, one does not need rewrite all the archive
code that is used internally for maintaining the master archives, one
reduces the burden on the security team, having to track several
different stable versions of each source package .. shall I go on?

This is libel, or at least, slander. Quote me chapter and
verse, or withdraw the lie. I never said anything about synchronizing
different arches, which is a no brainer. I did make statements about
releasing architectures at all, but that is a different kettle of fish.

Nope. What the non free world does, or does not do, does not
affect release decisions for Debian. We release when we are ready. We
are not yet ready. Period.
