I was thinking about opening at least a 2.4 drivers tree given some of the issues in 2.4 and driver updates swirling around on this list.
But, if you're going to be maintaining 2.4 for Red Hat, would you like to take point position for reviewing 2.4 patches and passing them on to Marcelo via a BK tree?
