No objections here. I've been waiting fort his move for a little while

refuse to move, maybe this is good enough incentive.

Just to make sure on a few things, we're talking x86 users here being the hardcore 2.4 types, right?

While I'm all for 2.6, mips-side, we've still got some issues on IP22 (Indy/Indigo2) systems that forces me to keep a 2.4.31 ebuild around. Sparc is also in a similar, although much bigger boat, where a whole lot of 2.6.x releases just don't work for various systems, thus they have to stick with 2.4.x as well.

Any of these changes that may affect 2.4/devfs usage need to keep this in mind that some of us who still use 2.4/devfs may not be doing so out of choice, simply because it's the only option we have.
