Yeah, it's 2.6 only. Are we seriously expecting to ship etch with 2.4 kernels? Is anyone still doing active security support for it? The linux-onlyness of it is a bit more awkward, but non-Linux OSs tend to be lacking things like decent ram filesystems anyway, so the semantics are going to vary in any case. But I guess if it's difficult, sticking with /run might be easier. Has anyone talked to the FHS guys about this?
