As was already discussed elsewhere (and this is entirely the wrong list
at this point ;-), it is impossible to take advantage of all of the
benefits that you get with 2.6 and still leave a 2.4.x kernel.  Not to
mention the question of how do you present this to the user.

The right answer is to get 2.6.x to where it doesn't cause FC2 to be "a
lame distribution" by getting it tested and stabilized :-)
