I think avoiding 2.4 because it would only be extra work for us with
no benefit does make lots of sense.

On this I share Lucas' concerns about ABI stability, plus Ubuntu may
end up shipping a pre-release 2.5 then. Why not wait until 2.5 is
out before sending it to unstable?
I can see how it'd be nice to test with pre-release versions, but
maybe this is better done elsewhere (similar to what is done with
Haskell AFAIK?).
