I am concerned you missed all the QA work and other works done by what you call "anti-payment" people. Never so much work was done prior to a release. It certainly show there are enough people willing to invest effort in the release without dunc-tank bait. Byt the way, my release date for Etch is "When it is ready". You have to consider that Dunc-tank created a conflict of interest for every developer not strictly neutral about it and this is not a comfortable position to be. Given the current prospect for Etch, "we can do this better, and look, we'll prove it" is not even challenging.
