In my opinion it's extremely bad style to remove drm-4.0 from the 2.4
kernel (remember, it's supposed to be a *stable* kernel series). As
far as I know, there are binary-only drivers out there that work only
with drm-4.0. I don't think it's fair to break someones working setup
just because of a kernel upgrade.
But if there is a good reason to remove it, I'm certainly willing to
listen. My understanding is that for Keith it's good enough if
drm-4.0 goes away in 2.5.
