Sure. In fact, it is called 2004.3 and it is already available! *grin* > You could even take it a step further, and release it on an offtime > for a 2.6 release, to reduce bandwith strains on mirrors that much > more. > > Or even sanction a 2.4-releng team, still supported fully by gentoo, > but handled by someone different than the main team, as they seem to > be busy enough. Honestly, we have no intentions on maintaining the "legacy" 2.4 stuff. It will still be available as a choice, but we aren't spending our resources on it. As it stands, we already are overworked in most areas, so adding a 2.4 set would be near impossible. The more time we spend on legacy builds, the less time we have to work on new things, like the new LiveCD which will be X-enabled. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Operational/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
