Plan was to release Etch sometime in the December 2006 time frame. Freeze
would certainly occur before that time. I don't know how long the freeze
will be, perhaps several months if not more.
This is the timeframe that I heard based on following the debian-boot
(installer work) and other various mailing lists.
