Especially because 2.4 would have meant dropping many archs support. I think 2.5 will deal with that better, but that would have been obviously wrong to aime 2.5 at etch. AFAICT hppa and m68k are currently in a hiatus, even with libc2.5, as we will probably drop linuxthreads support, and that no viable NPTL port exists yet.
