Considering the amount of linux-based CPE and other network hardware out
there (including some Cisco gear), the extent to which it might be
usable today could be surprising.

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.
