Interesting that you pick 2.4.10 as the point at which "The worst passed, however, and this is the point at which 2.4 started toward something resembling stability." since it was followed by the infamous "2.4.11-dontuse" release ... perhaps the only DOA kernel in Linux history :-)

This bug was triggered when unmounting a filesystem with "dirty" inodes. They released 2.4.16 just after to correct this single bug, but didn't mark 2.4.15 as dontuse.
Ten-year timeline part 3: The Tucows years Posted Jan 29, 2008 20:51 UTC (Tue) by Felix.Braun (subscriber, #3032) [Link] 2.4.11 ate my hard disc :-( I still feel the pain. In all the years that I've been using Linux this has been the only time that I've lost data due to anything else than my own fault :-)
