See list archives. 2.4 kernel will be dumped once 0.15 is released. Or
maybe it will be a patch rather than a branch, so it won't need merges.
Having branches is expensive in terms of development time, at least in
CVS or Subversion (git should be better at that).

Once the kernel is in sync with for_linus. I guess I'll have to drop
some plans like firmware download. I don't have time to do it myself
quickly and nobody cared to make a patch.
