This is because we have limited resources, and do those things (first) where a customer is waiting (and paying) for. Not all of the work that went into the old 2.4.4 tree was adapted for more recent versions of 2.4 yet; and most of the 2.4 stuff got lost in 2.6 anyway. > MPC852T-based development?

Most should work fine with minimal changes, but obviously some effort for a code review and especially testing will be needed.
