I was trying to keep things stable for a while and then maybe go straight
for 5.26.x when it becomes mainstream. I would only want to switch to 5.24
in the next half year or so if I can keep it binary backwards compatible, so
we don't have to another massrebuild of all dependent packages. I haven't
started to look into that, though.
