I believe this would be a Good Thing for the Debian project - it would free up a lot of developers to work on more interesting things. Fixing other people's bugs has never been my idea of a good time. I disagree: stable releases are necessary for any project, even if they are far and wide in between. It may be more interesting to work on cutting-edge stuff, but for some people things just need to work. And on most servers (and soon that would apply to desktops, too), cutting-edge stuff is not necessary, the crucial part is to have timely security updates that don't break things. Which is exactly what Debian/stable provides.
