What about (sub)arches that currently do not yet support installing 2.6?

If 2.4 is really going to be dropped for Etch except for upgrade purposes, 
I'd very much like to see a formal (release) policy statement saying so.

If 2.4 kernels are really abandoned, it will mean that we (d-i) could 
(should even) start cleaning out 2.4 related code and prod lagging 
architectures into more speed where it comes to switching to 2.6.

Delaying a formal decision much longer will probably mean we'll be stuck 
with 2.4 whether we like it or not.
