There's nothing in Etch that I want now, but in 6-12 months there will be. If 
I upgrade to Etch now, before the server goes live, I avoid a large upgrade 
later which could potentially cause problems.
I really don't like dist-upgrading live servers, which is why on the existing 
server I stuck with Sarge once it went from testing to stable instead of 
continuing with the testing branch and going to Etch.
But of course security is important, which is why I'm not really sure what to 
do...

David.
