It depends on your requirements.
If you need a kernel that is
(1) stable and working [2.6 is still pretty much useless for example
on 8xx systems],
(2) small [2.6 is usually >= 20% bigger than 2.4],
and/or
(3) fast [2.6 is usually >= 10% slower than 2.4],
then 2.4 may be the better choice.

David, you can do what you want. But it is not up to you to decide
what other people are doing. I declare that there ARE people who are
interested in 2.4 kernel - both for maintenance and development work.
