Well, that's not strictly true, we will continue to fix things that
are broken, but I would prefer than any new development (e.g. support
for new boards or devices) happened in 2.5.  It's a bit disappointing
that 8xx still doesn't compile in 2.5.  I don't have any 8xx hardware
to test on so I have been relying on others to update it.

Excellent idea. :)
