I think etch should support 2.4 in the sense of "upgrade support only"; i.e., it should support 2.4 because we need to be able to install etch on systems running sarge 2.4 kernels, not because we'll provide support for 2.4 in etch. This AFAIK will satisfy Joey's need for interim 2.4 compatibility, while making it clear that the upgrade to 2.6 needs to happen before the etch+1 release. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
