"the vast majority of sarge users will be running 2.4 kernels"?
Considering the current state of unstable, I don't think Debian 3.1 will
be released before the second half of 2004.
Considering the current speed of Debian development, Debian 3.2 will be
released in 2006 or 2007.
Even today, the 2.4.18 kernel on the Debian 3.0 boot floppies is too old
to even boot on many modern systems (e.g. with some Promise IDE
controllers).
I don't think "the vast majority of sarge users will be running 2.4
kernels" in 2006.
