I think I have shown that you can have the cookie and eat it as well.
With my proposal there will be

?* Very little need to declare an architecture broken
  by allowing limitations on each architectures.

* A single source version for a distribution

* Patches that are tested and verified for all 
  architectures, for which the package is available.

* possibilities to commit for development purposes,
?  without disrupting the stable or testing 
  distribution. This activity can be ongoing,
  and there is no need to stop the fixing
  of a package, due to release dates.
  Allowing patches for development purposes
  allows buildroot to become a team effort.

* Allow stable distribution to coexist with
  test distributions.

* Allow existence of multiple distributions

* Allow users to work with custom patches
  easily without commiting until proved correct.
