Why doesn't Debian come with 2.4 kernel by default? New users will hit enter for setup instead of bf24. Why don't you have bf22 for 2.2 kernel and by default install 2.4 kernel?

I think the reason behind using a 2.2. kernel is (was?) that it works on all architectures. So the 'default debian install' will also work on architectures like sparc32 (those pizzabox sparcstations). Those sparcs do not support 2.4.x kernels (or rather: not the early models that were available when woody went frozen.
