We intend to track official 2.4 versions as they come out. I
might even get around to 2.4.23 over the weekend.
The patches often apply cleanly, so you could consider doing it
yourself. (split out the arch/i386 part of the patch and use 'sed' to
rewrite it for 'arch/xeno')

It's probably less than a couple of weeks work, but we weren't
planning on doing it until 2.6 had stabilised a bit.

I expect 1.2 to be released RSN. It's currently stable, but there
are a couple of useful features such as the new console stuff and
2.4.23 port that we'd like to get in before release.

We haven't got manpower to do it locally. Kip Macy has made a
great start, but has been very busy. Help definitely appreciated.
