And the section after that...
Some of the questions you should ask are:
* Does this update require manual end user changes? ie, config files,
or database formats or anything?
* Is the 2.4 stream still supported by upstream?
* If not are there security or other serious bugs that would make
moving to 2.8 desireable?
