Yes. I've had to do this. I do commercial datarecovery jobs. We
promise 24 hours turnaround, so rebooting every half hour due to 2.4
instability is unacceptable. (and yes, I reverted to 2.2.15 when it
crashed on me the second time in an hour.)

Ah Yes, I maintain a SuSE 6.3 system that now runs 2.0.38, and is
expected to run that for another 8 years or so... (And I still think
that it's the Linux-machine with the largest hourly turnover in the
world. Can anybody beat $70M/hour?)
