I understand RH wants to do a 2.6 distribution _soon_, because there are
lot of new features necessary for enterprises, RHEL 4.But I would like
to see a backup 2.4 kernel. Because it's certainly impossible
that first 2.6.x releases brings all features/stability/security/...
that 2.4 gets today.

It is not necessary a install option, it's enough to place the packages
on a CD dir.

lame distribution becase the kernel is lame. Today kernel TODO list is not
very small.
