2.4.x will have _no_ support going in to the future. Changes to the 2.4 tree stopped being made quite some time ago, due to the large number of cleanups and improvements to the 2.6.x tree. 2.4.x has been closed for some time, and AbiWord 2.6 is already in Fedora and SuSE. It would be very shortsighted not to package 2.6 (properly, with the ODT plugin) in Hardy.
