I think we're gonna have 2.2 aruond for some time still. Alan Cox is
pretty conservative wrt to stable kernels, and he's the maintainer. When
2.5 kicks in, Linus will abandon 2.4 and give it to Alan like he did
with 2.2. Then Alan will probably keep supporting it for some months,
until he considers 2.4 good enough.
I would not worry about 2.2 based systems beeing out of date in any near
future.
