I understand that the line must be drawn somewhere. However, I am
concerned about Etch shipping with a 2.6.17 kernel because of Xen.
AIUI, Xen has issues with 2.6.17 kernels (at least those available from
backports). I run some Xen servers, each with a number of domUs and so
would like to see that Xen be treated as a "first-class citizen" in
Debian.

If I am wrong, I apologize. I am going from discussion I recall seeing
on the pkg-xen list.
