This isn't a real argument, IMHO, because upstream no longer releases
major kernel versions.

OTOH, dropping support for 2.4 kernels at this stage feels wrong.
(Even though I'd rather do it ASAP so that we can compile Berkeley DB
with POSIX threading. 8-) It might make sense to declare etch the
latest release which supports 2.4, though.
