We shouldn't be pushing 2.4 into unstable until we're sure that it's
approximately as stable as 2.2 is. We can't tell whether it's as stable as
2.2 is until packages exist. Uploading to experimental would allow us to
do this without the risk of having to go through extreme pain to revert
back to 2.2, or alternatively releasing in a broken state.
