Hi everyone, I've searched the list for an answer and gotten, "there's
no stable release; check out from cvs" ;-)
I'm trying to figure out if there are stability issues with mips port of
2.6? Specifically for 24K? Is mips-2.4 generally considered to be more
stable?
thanks!

Use 2.6 if you are working with 24K. Yes, it is stable that's why we are
using 2.6 and not 2.5 because the even numbers are stable releases. *sigh*
Geesh, kids these days.

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.
