I disagree. As long as the version in 2.4 is bugfixed, I see no problem with
that.

Obviously, major changes should happen in 2.5 and not 2.4. But that is the way
it has always been with Linux.

Opposing a merge of a very useful feature into a stable kernel just because
major improvements are planned for the next development cycle seems
counterproductive.
