Currently, the old stable tree will be supported for several years even
after the new stable tree opens (2.0 and 2.2 seem to be quite dead today
and might even miss several security fixes but 2.4 is still
well-maintained). If you use a 2.4 kernel today you know that you can
follow 2.4 for the next year without risking big breakages.
With the new dev model, I assume noone will maintain a 2.6.8 tree for
several years.
