No need to worry, I got 2.6 kernel, so I don't have to worry about any of that till the cold death of the Universe.

2. Me too. And 2.2 on one of my Ataris, so I'm safe, no 2.4 kernels anywhere |

4. Sounds like a good reason to go to 2.6 |
|
Oh, wait, maybe I'll have time to go to 2.8 if I'm lucky.

12. I predict the silcon in the chips will decay to something else |
|
