Not a Linux expert, but it sounds weird to put 2.4 in a feature freeze mode "soon" (whatever that means), with 2.6 just released days ago... was the timeframe similar between 2.2 and 2.4?
A Business Week article dating from this year's July says:
"A Swiss firm, ID Quantique, introduced the first commercial quantum cryptography products last summer"
So that would be mid-2002.
I cannot read such an article without thinking of the Therac-25 catastrophe (several people being killed or severely injured because of a poorly designed X-ray device).
My 2 cents: When developing a medical device, don't focus on a nice'n'cool UI, but on safety.
