Because (as the discussion showed :-), that has other downsides.
Really, we need an easy way for maintainers to do branching themselves
so that the branching can be done at the most suitable point on a
package by package basis.  If you're interested in helping with the
infrastructure side of this, we'd love to have some help on that front.
