It's because it can take a fair amount of work to get the latest
pre-release patch to merge into XFS. 2.5 is now the main development
tree. That tree is keeping up with pre-patches as Steve has time to
merge them. The 2.4 xfs tree is only being merged with major releases
so Eric can spend less time merging and more time hunting down XFS bugs.
