I would not wait for 2.6 to be in Sarge... Remember how much time we had
to wait between the first 2.3.99 and the 2.4 release. Remember the
endless 2.4.0-prex, 2.4.0-rcx... And then the terrible stabilization
period until... 2.4.16.
And still, at 2.4.18, Woody was shipped with 2.2 by default. Maybe Sarge
should attempt to see light with 2.4 by default, ready for a simple
inclusion of 2.6 - if at all possible (I am not following the kernel
development, I understand that, although there are some noticeable
differences, they are much more limited than 2.2->2.4)
