As Johannes already pointed out, the active development will continue in 
the HEAD branch for 2.6 only, but of course bugfixes will be done in the 
2.4 branch, too.

This step is neccessary to get the DVB system really ready for 2.6:
- revamp frontend support
- switch to kernel i2c
- sysfs / udev support
- firmware loading support
...

There haven't been many complaints in the past -- either because users 
still use the "DVB" tree from CVS for 2.4 or because the current 
dvb-kernel is good enough for them.

If you're satisfied with the current state of "dvb-kernel" in 2.4, then 
you're not switched off at all.

Please bug the AVM DSL USB driver author to provide proper 2.6 support. ;-)

CU
Michael.
