I see what you're getting at, and that's fine for right now. I assume
that at some point in the future development-sources and
gentoo-dev-sources will become 2.7, and vanilla-sources and
gentoo-sources will move to 2.6. It'd be nice when this happens to have
something for people who don't want to upgrade, and only want to build
security/bug fixes that will surely be coming out for 2.4 for years to
come. If we're going to have vanilla-2.4, and/or gentoo-sources-2.4 at
that point anyways... May aswell work out ahead of time how it will be
laid out.

It's not really that critical though. For the most part people who want
2.6 now now now are perfectly capable of running off and rolling their
own, and probably are already running something like mm or love-sources
anyways.
