For the historians: we actually originally planned to offer 2.4 as an extra for heavy-duty server users, and Ubuntu 4.10 had 2.4 kernels in universe. (At some point before release - possibly before we went public, I'm not certain - they were even in main.) See e.g.: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2004-October/000419.html We never supported installation with 2.4, though, and we dropped it entirely in Ubuntu 5.04.
