vanilla-sources is the only place to find a 2.4 kernel on some arches, |
| 9 |
though at least using those sources is no longer supported (as DSD and |
| 10 |
the kernel team told me some months back.) |

From the docs perspective, I'd like it if all 2.4 profiles for any |
| 13 |
remaining arches were marked unsupported as well. I spoke with the arch |
| 14 |
teams around the 2007.0 release time when I was updating the handbooks |
| 15 |
to remove almost all 2.4 references, but there are still a few in there |
| 16 |
for things like sparc-sources. AFAIK that's the only arch that still has |
| 17 |
a 2.4 kernel available. |

Any chance of seeing it all go away so I can finally clean up *all* 2.4 |
| 20 |
references? |
