The major changes in 2.6 via-rhine have been in use for quite a while. It's
clearly an improvement over the one in 2.4 and every bit as stable. I'm not
sure a backport is worth it, though, especially considering that it's
incredibly easy to break via-rhine for some odd hardware or use case.
For 2.4, I'd stay with the devil that I know -- i.e. make minimal changes
only. But whatever you decide is fine with me. I trust that the 2.4
maintainer knows what is best for those users. Better than me, anyway.
