That's the theory. In practice 2.4 does hardly receive any attention
anymore; these days the 2.4 branch is mostly following Marcelo's updates
but that's about it. That's equivalent to saying bitrot is creeping into
2.4's direction and whatever issues there are with 2.6 will be resolved
much more aggressivly than in 2.4.
