Conversely, if the 2.5 series has some new feature you find useful that isn't present in 2.4, it makes plenty of sense to run it. I haven't kept up with 2.5, but if we can set the wayback machine.... It was a really long time between the 1.0 release and the 1.2 release, and somewhere in there 1.1 got loadable kernel modules. So I ran 1.1.whatever in production for a very long time, because I was typically running on very memory constrained systems and being able to build a minimal kernel and load and unload device drivers at whim was very useful to me.
