Phil: Just wondering why this is the case?  2.5 is still quite active and
used "in the wild" with 2.6 not all that wide spread yet.  Especially with
distributions that have LTS-type support (e.g. Ubuntu 8.04) which will be
supported on the desktop for two more years.  In that time, there won't be
any upgrade to 2.6.
