When are we likely to see 2.4.2? (and 2pre4)?

Haven't seen a post for sometime from the usually prolific Mr Cox.
What's the gossip?

I thought the new rule is: 
total_memory = max(physical, swap);

And the old rule was:
total_memory = physical + swap;

Hence under a 1G physical and 1G swap setup, the kernel would never
access swap. 

Is this the case, or am I a couple of megabytes short in my
understanding of things?
