Robin,

Yes, but 2.4.X kernels aren't meant to be in a state of quick and sudden
flux. Whilst I agree new features are added to 2.4.X series kernels there
are by far more known issues with a 2.5.X series kernel.

Indeed, I could equally argue that if 2.5.X is so supposedly stable, then
why bother running a development version at all and just merge everything
into 2.4.X...
