Which delays are expected for etch, that are not only imposed by the
usage of testing for release purposes? [1]

I do still doubt that testing actually is an improvement compared to the
former method of freezing unstable, and even more do I doubt it's worth
sacrificing 8 architectures.

will have a working installer and I hope there's not another
installer rewrite planned for etch this shouldn't be a big issue.
