I would agree with you that 2.2.15 should be the default
kernel. But we can include a 2.4 kernel in potato, perhaps with a
warning in the long description that people should use it with
caution, and with a lilo backup kernel in place.
I've been running 2.3 kernels for a while now, and so have
several people. Though it may not work as a default ekrnel,
espescially for laptop users, it can be useful for a lot of people
out there. I think it would be in keeping with the social contract
that we offer people a *choice*
