Some people want the latest 2.4 kernel, some the latest 2.6
kernel. Both should be possible. So kernel-tree-2.4 and
kernel-tree-2.6 should be there.

I doubt anyone wants to magically jump from 2.6 to a 2.7 or 2.8 kernel
when it comes out, sticking with one 2.x series is probably meta
enough.

Just my 2c.
