Don't worry, I think releasing in time for 2.6.24 would be enough.

BTW, judging by your last batch of xtables patches you seem to have
managed to import the netfilter SVN in git. I keep getting errors
related to paths:

$ git-svnimport -v -C nf.git http://svn.netfilter.org/netfilter
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/nf.git/.git/
1: Unrecognized path: 
/patch-o-matic-ng/trunk/pptp-conntrack-nat/linux/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_nat_pptp.h

1: Unrecognized path: 
/patch-o-matic-ng/trunk/pptp-conntrack-nat/linux/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_conntrack_pptp.h

It seems it switches the first directory and "trunk". Did you use
git-svnimport or just git-svn for importing?
