The reason we keep all architectures in sync is so that you end up running the same thing if you install "Debian" on any supported architecture. Otherwise you'd install "Debian" on i386 and have the latest features, but install "Debian" on alpha and have an older version of some packages with fewer features and different bugs that need to be worked around.
