After a short period of time the 2.2 tree will stop being supported
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 I would not worry about 2.2 based systems beeing out of date in any near future. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.
