I'd rephrase that as, we need to discuss if 2.4 should be included
in etch. My understanding is that it is needed for some arches,
and my personal feeling is that 2.4 is maintained upstream and in
many cases is a valid choice over 2.6. That said, I think its a
discussion that should be had and I am more than happy not to have
to maintain 2.4 for etch if there is no need for it.
