Merging the code does not take that long, doing some regression tests on
various configurations does. The VM in 2.4 is still going through various
gyrations, and we do have some people experiencing problems because of it.
Things do appear to be improving - 2.4.4 was better than the 2.4.2 we
released at, but we have to hammer on things fairly hard to ensure we
got it right each time.
