I have heard rumors that etch will soon become stable.

Would any one know when this is likely to happen?

Or is it already "frozen" and I could start my reinstall this coming
week-end without having to do it all over again when it becomes stable?

From what I know, my best guess is december-january. The release team
has already started to freeze part of the basic system (where freeze is
the release state before stable aka etch)

Sounds like I could anticipate and do it some time next week.

After all this is only my laptop -- not some mission-critical server.

and the rc bug count is less
that 200. If you want any more info, Steve Langasek and Andreas Barth
(the relase managers) are making updates on planet[0]. Here is a
URL[1] to a png of the rc bug count.

.. which reminds me that I opened a bug when I ran into these problems
and haven't checked its status in months.

Cheers,
Kev
