I know I pushed for the 2.6.24 deprecation, but do you see any particular issue with other kernels < 3.0? The 2.6.24 was big and ugly, but none of the other ones seem particularly big/ugly, and there aren't a ton of patches either ... Now, I'm all for dropping support if it really makes a difference, and we might want to drop them from the ckmake tests to reduce the pain, but I'm not entirely sure we should wholesale remove things if there are still users for them out there. johannes
