Pronounce Etch

Now we can focus next stable, codename Etch (although we're in trouble with sarge DVD/CD image).

BTW, Etch is common word without any color for native English. Pronunciation of "Etch" sounds "H" (if Japanese pronounce), and "H" means "Hentai" in Japanese. ('Hentai' means ... well, please search on google)
So, we should use the word "testing" instead of "etch" when we talk about next stable at public space in Japan. :)

Phonetically speaking, we'd say 'haytch' for pronouncing 'H'- I think Etch is the best codename yet (although it's connotation in japanese is certainly... unfortunate!)
