1.2.6 is not in testing - it *was* in testing. It is not in stable
either. That is the issue here. 1.2.6 has a lot of fixes not available
in current stable, but stable policy will not allow it into Etch.
1.2.6 is quite compatible with the 1.1.6 in Etch. It is the best of the
1.x rails branch. I'm actually using it for an application that does not
work with 2.x branch.
On the other hand, the 2.0.2 (later version in future) is less
compatible and probably should not be backported. It is readily
available and installable almost directly from current testing/unstable
repository for people running Etch.
