Mark Andrews expunged (marka () isc org):

An how many of those embedded linux devices are running a 2.4 kernel? Just lo
ok at xx-wrt as an example. If you have a certain chipset, 2.4 is your only o
ption. 

And the work to patch that kernel is minimal if it doesn't already
support it.  It would take less time to fix the kernel than to argue
over whether to fix it.

The point is just because it's "running linux" doesn't make it any more likely to get upgraded than joe six pack is 
going to update/patch his windows XP.
