I think the point with releasing embedded distros with 2.6 is to give embedded developers time to develop with it. It's not like you take an arbitrary piece of hardware, slap on an embedded linux distro and sell the stuff in an instant. Consider if company X plans to make some product, and they plan for a one year development time. Especially if some kernel module development is needed, it might be a smart move to start developing with 2.6 now, as it probably will be "stable enough" in a year, than to first develop your kernel modules for 2.4 and then port then to 2.6 before you can release the product?
