I find the "etm" part confusing since timestamps are generated by a specific CS
component, not the ETM itself. As such I think it should be "cs_timestamp" and
"next_cs_timestamp". But this is just a naming convention and won't press the
case further if you feel strongly about it.
Otherwise I think this renaming exercise is worth it.
With or without the above:
