YES, I can make RPMs if you give me the tarballs.  No problem.

I wish we could call the new working versions 2.4.x, so we are numbering from 
where I said June 2010 is version 2.4. It
will be less confusing for me and others. Call the new "working series" 2.4.X. 
This way, we get back to the "even
numbers" are workable versions model that we used to love so much.

There were quite a few changes in the trunk leading up to the time when I said 
"June 2010 is 2.4".  If you start
releasing 2.3.X again, then I'm going to get a lot of emails about "why did 
your version numbers go backward?"

And these numbers don't have any real substantive meaning, they are just 
ordinal.

Then use 2.5.X for the wholly new from outer space thing.

But I'll package whatever version numbers you decide to use.
