No.
* It's extra work to maintain the extra branch: Who would decide when a
package is stable enough for testing? Most likely, the maintainer, who would
then have to deal with Bodhi for testing as well, in addition to doing it
for the releases. Having to work with Bodhi for Rawhide builds is a non-
starter, it's already enough of a PITA to do it for the branched release. We
cannot get any development done that way.
* As I already pointed out elsewhere in the thread, branching stable from
testing rather then Rawhide would mean older software in stable. We are not
Debian, we want to ship current software!
So no, I don't see the Debian model working for us, at all, and I don't
consider that an acceptable compromise at all.
