5 All,
6 With the 2007.1 profile, we would like to drop support for the
7 kernel-2.4.xx series. As far as we can tell, we do not think it is
8 required for anything anymore. Please note that already with the
9 2007.0 profile, there is no profile for the 2.4 kernel, so if you want
10 it now, you must be using 2006.1/2.4 (or, I suppose, 2006.0/2.4).
11
12 This does not mean the the sparc-sources-2.4.34 ebuild would instantly
13 disappear, but it does mean that we would not work to keep
14 sparc-sources current. Note that this is effectively the current
15 status anyway; nothing has changed with sparc-sources since last
16 January, so effectively all kernel-2.4 work has stopped.
17
18 If this causes problems, please let us know now.

20 Regards,
21 Ferris
