No, we're not going to wait ;)
The 2.2 kernel is getting outdated quickly and the 2.4 kernels have 
finally become stable without major bugs or issues (except for the ext3 bug).

The networking in 2.4 gives us so much possibilities over 2.2 that we 
can't let it lay around for so long.  Besides, if you look at how long it 
took for 2.4 to become stable after 2.4.1, a stable 2.6 may even be 1,5 
years away.

Kind regards,

Mark Wormgoor
