I'm not sure anyone can give you an answer although you'll no doubt get
some opinion from those better informed than I. Etch is now frozen and
consequently will be released once all the release critical bugs are
fixed. FWIW I installed a server with etch (i386) yesterday and so far
seems pretty rock solid; as long as the machine isn't exposed to the
internet and your machine isn't mission critical, you may want to
upgrade sooner.
In Debian speak 'it'll be released when it's ready' :)
