The new ARM products (Duo v2 and NV+ v2) use Debian Squeeze.
I agree they should move on from Debian Etch and I know they want to from taking a look at chirpa's comment here: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=332047#p332047
Stability is important. If they are going to move to a new distribution they need a smooth upgrade path for existing users. Maintaining two versions of the firmware for x86, one on Etch and the other on squeeze is not the way to go.
So for now, they continue to backport to get things to run on Etch.
Sparc ReadyNAS are stuck on Sarge as the Sparc architecture used by the ReadyNAS is not supported by newer Debian distributions.
