I'm not sure that many people are seriously considering an etch beta to install as a client's firewall solution. The guarantee bringed by the work on stable is still recognized as one of Debian's most strong arguments. So are the (sometimes overestimated?) good work on security updates for stable....this is easy to sell to clients. Despite the excellent work on testing security (hint hint), I'm not sure that recommending testing would be something I would do if I were a Debian consultant. PS: I hope that everyone has noticed the nice formulation of Joey. He said "etch beta 2" and not "etch installer beta 2" and I know he did this on purpose..:-)
