Without wishing to enter the twin vs triple/four engine debate,the change from ETOPS to EDTO is a reflection of the change of emphasis from engine reliability to cargo fire suppression.
EDTO removes twin engine from the equation due modern engine design.
sorry,can't remember the relevant ICAO paper.
