As many of you may know, the Gentoo Kernel team has stopped supporting our last 2.4 kernel sources in the tree, gentoo-sources-2.4. Since we no longer have an officially supported 2.4 kernel on alpha/sparc/x86, I have deprecated the 2.4 profiles for those architectures. The 2.4 kernel has had a good run with Gentoo. It is a shame to see it go, but we're finding more and more applications are requiring hal/udev or other 2.6-only requirements, making for a hard time for teams like Gnome. The profiles are slated to be removed on or after November 1st. There is no "upgrade path" as we will no longer have 2.4 profiles, but it should be a fairly smooth transition to any 2.6 profile.
