"Whenever it is ready" is the really easy option out :p.

Little remark: the rounding in the poll is done wrong, for example: 44,7 becomes 44.

I would like to see a release when everything is working properly, i.e. when Etch is ready. Trying to keep a fixed date is a common reason for a faulty releases. So Debian should try not to disappoint its users, who expect first of all a working release, I think.

Hi people,
The best time to Etch relase is according to me when it is ready. Debian is the most stable distribution and should stay like that. I am using debian, and tried some others systems but Debian stayed No. 1. because of stability, apt-get, and very helpful and wide community.
So I wish you best for all of you, and we should stay together to make debian project long, long living.

Regards

I want Etch ASAP but I would rather wait even another year till it is ready. I hope this release stays around for at lease 3 years before the next.
But I will wait till all critical bugs are fixed then be the first person to download it.

Well, I think etch should be released whenever it is ready and stable, as you all mentioned. But I installed etch in my home pc this week and I felt in love...
all the new features of the gnome are amazing, they aren't many, but meaningful.
All the nice look and design that ubuntu edgy has, it has too, well, actually gnome has it, not a distro. I installed it in my work computer too, didn't resist
hehe
Even though I use it for a very little time, I consider it stable.
If you are an expert user, I recommend upgrading to etch. Really nice, and almost 100% stable.

At the moment, Debian GNU\Linux is the distro that a lot of business and development is dependent on due to the stability factor. If someone wants bleeding edge, release-often type systems, then perhaps they should look elsewhere.

The fact that debian in the past has released its 'stable' version "when it's ready", rather than demand requires it.

Take your time and get it right fella's..

I use it on a daily basis and it works fine.

When will it be declared stable? Only the release-critical bugs have to be squashed... I voted February because I believe in a little pressure to perform ;)

Thanks for the good work so far guys! (if any developer/contributor reads this)

Monzo.
