It's already there in /extra. Likely Slackware 9.2 (or maybe 10.0, we'll see) will ship with 2.6.X as
an optional kernel with 2.4.26 as the reccomended kernel. Pat did the same thing with Slackware
8.0 back in the day if you recall.

If Slackware ships 2.6.x and X11R6-7 as the default X implimentation, it may very well be
released as 10.0, since X applications compiled against X11R6-7 seem to have some trouble with
XFree86, so the packages may not be backwards compatable.
