That's not good.
2.4.29 should ideally be 2.4.9 with a buttload of bug fixes. Same with 2.6.5/2.6.9. Major feature differences should ideally come with majors, i.e. 2.0->2.2->2.4->2.6
A few bugfix backports may be fine, though that's already light to fair work (depending on how many security bugs are being found and need backporting, versus how many can patch clean without porting); How do you people maintain 4 ACTIVE branches?
