I'm not saying that 2.6.x is less secure in anyway. 2.6.x has been out
all of what a few months? And the security patches even less time. So
without proper security regression tests done for 2.6.x yet I'll stick
with recommending that it not be used for production environments yet.
2.4.x on the other hand has been audited by many sets of eyes where
2.6.x has probably been reviewed by a few.
Auditing and regression testing is welcome.
