We can just wait for the necessary technology, and then go back and release. If it would, etch should have been released by now. As it isn't the case, that means, either: 1. we won't have the technology (sad); 2. or noboby will use it to go back in time to release Etch earlier. 3. we will have the technology, but time travel backwards branches of parallel universes, and we just happen to still live in the original one where the time tourists didn't arrive yet.
