    Maybe desktop users are running 2.6, but there's a heck of a lot of production servers out there running 2.4 or even 2.2.

    As many corporations have policies limiting upgrades to extensively tested packages, upgrading to 2.6 right away isn't necessarily an option -- but a bugfix to a minor revision is acceptable.
