Andreas Barth 在 debian-devel-announce mailing list 中表示，雖然他們原先計劃在四月一日當天公布 Debian Etch 的正式推出，但可惜因為仍有數個 release critical bug 未 fix（跟據 http://people.debian.org/~sesse/bugscan/ 仍有 5 個 RC bug），所以估計還要等一個星期（或更多）才能慶柷 Etch 的發布了。

原文擇錄如下：

Hi,

we're almost at the release now, but before you start to party, there are still a few important steps missing. So we thought we'd give you an overview of our current status.

Most release critical bugs are resolved now. If you are able to help us with one of the remaining bugs, be welcome, and be fast.

The most important step that remains to be done is to finalize the release notes, skim through the update reports and - well, fix the last remaining few blockers. Etch is of a very good technical quality, and we just need to polish a few remaining issues.

In order to have the time to do so, we are going to move the release for another week or so. Our secret plan was to announce the release on April 1st (that would have been fun, don't you think so ), but well - quality is
more important.

Cheers,
