So ... where do we go from here ???
We've got patches etc for the above and I've got it running completely
without any problems on both my test system as well as in production.

Ryan is of the opnion that we transition _hard_ from 2.2.x to 2.4.x and
don't look back at all.

Are there any outstanding stuff / ports that will have problems with the
transition from 2.2.x to 2.4.2 before we do so ???
