It all depends on when we will release. If we release, let's say in the
second half of this year, then going with 2.4.x is the better option. If
we release sometime next year, maybe we should consider 2.6.x.
Anyway, going with 2.4.x shouldn't stop us from offering a 2.6.x or even
a late 2.5.x package, so that maintainer start to get experience with
it.
