Is this official RM policy? I ask, because some packages[1] already
dropped 2.4 support *now* stating that Etch will not support 2.4 and
simply provide a README.Debian (IIRC).
It should be clear if users need to update to 2.6 *before* starting
the upgrade to Etch, or if they can update first to Etch but need to
upgrade the kernel afterwards.
Thanks for clarification.
