Marcello's conservatism should prove ideal for 2.4 in maintenance mode.

Personally I think M's done a good job, being a source maintainer is not a
popularity contest. 2.4 was rocky until he took over, there were several
brown paper bag releases. Most end users who needed features like XFS
could have used tested distro kernels which included it, rather than patch
themselves.
