Kinkie, what are you afraid of? The stuff that Henrik and I are
working on wont' even appear in 2.5. 2.5 was slated to be another
"feature++" release. I wouldn't mind it being called 2.4.1 or something,
but quite a lot of low-level stuff (eg cbdata) has changed between
2.4->2.5 to justify the version bump.

So, don't worry about the 2.5 branch code becoming unstable.
I'm personally not looking to break squid-HEAD until 2.5 heads out
the door.

On that track, what are the final issues with 2.4 ? I can't put my
finger on the poll issue, since I'm just not a linux person.
Anything else?
