In general it is a good idea to run the linux base with the kernel version it is running natively. So far the 2.6 emulation is not a stable replacement of the 2.4 emulation. So the change Roman is proposing will not happen soon. If 7.0 will ship with 2.6 as the default (i386 _&_ amd64), the linux base port will be change in a suitable way, but until we _know_ (instead of hope) that 7.0 will ship with 2.6 as the default, we have a lot of work/tests to do.
