So maybe look at it the other way around. You can start running Linux 2.6
on your Really Important Machines when Linux 2.7 forks. There'll be plenty
of version-number-junkies who will find the 2.6 bugs under common loads;
until the fork, 2.4 ought to be adequate. Except of course for your Scary
Desktop Machines, where you'll find the Mega Features (eg low-latency) a
bit harder to resist :)
