I agree.
Even if you get everything in Debian fixed, you won't know about user
scripts that have been designed around what Debian does.
Giving people a release to deal with transitions is a great thing to do
when there's no good reason not to.
Maintaining a symlink for a release seems a low cost.
For that matter I really can't see a good reason to ever drop the
symlink.
