Today I had to tell someone that the 2.6.24 kernel was fairly old. It was released 3 days ago. That might sound completely ridiculous, but in this case it's very much the truth.
With the ongoing arch/ppc->arch/powerpc ports for embedded boards, running anything less than the current git trees means you're missing out on quite a bit of functionality. Case in point, .24 doesn't have PCI support for 4xx at all whereas .25 does.
I expect this trend to end in not too many more releases. There are only so many subsystems and boards to port over, and some of them will inevitably be left behind as there is no interest. Perhaps then we can look at optimization and cleanup. |
