I just read the email too, and now I'm happy :)

Hopefully now we can stop hearing the million articles questioning
"Where is Etch?", if any of the reviewers wanted Etch they should have
installed it while it was testing and helped report bugs, instead of
complain. But that's just my two cents (Of course, most of them really
don't care about Debian, they're just doing it because it's their job).

Anyway, back on topic. The new Debian testing will be called "Lenny" and
it's version number is 4.1.

I'm just sitting tight waiting for all of the new packages to hit the
testing repositories, I'm going to upgrade right into Lenny :D
