It's also going to make life harder for some of us to
make sure things work on 2.4.
We have some framebuffer changes to make that i was
going to merge in with the new 0.4.1 but need testing
on 2.4. I have a 2.4 kernel installed that still boots
on the system but it's not got hotplug support so i
can't use it any more and i have no intention of
installing another 2.4 kernel on it.

Would it not make sense to leave the old firmware
loader in place if hotplug support isn't available?
