    The ChangeLog is a long one, I wonder if the patches will be ported to 2.6 as well....

    on the 2.4 and 2.6 releases? with 2.6 so close to release ... is there much point to having a 2.4+x release out? are the changes made to the new 2.4 already in the 2.6, or is it still newer stuff which hasnt been put into 2.6?

    I already sucked it down from the main kernel.org site actually, 2.5mb/s :)

    You must be new to Linux. Having gone through the unstable -> stable shift 3 times now, I can tell you from experience it will be quite a while before the new 2.6 kernel series is up to par with 2.4 for stability and performance. Just because your test systems don't crash doesn't mean everyone should haphazardly upgrade. Look at the 2.6 TODO list, it's still very extensive.
