Hi there,
the 2.4 branch hasn't seen a lot of activity lately, and is the last
branch to support Java 5.
I'm planning to do one more release (2.4.8) later this summer, and then
to officially end-of-life it.
Users of 2.4 who can move to Java 7 should switch to the latest stable
release of 2.14.
Users of 2.4 who still are on Java 6 can switch to the latest release of
2.12.
What it'll mean in actual actions:
- link will be removed from the download page
- news will be posted on the homepage
- [announce] will be sent to jr-user, jr-dev, oak-dev
- branch and tags WILL stay there
If you have any concerns speak out.
Best regards, Julian

Two months have passed, and 2.4.8 has been released in the meantime.
I'll therefore proceed with the plan sometime next week. Again: if there
are concerns please speak up now.
Best regards, Julian
