Their development would actually go a lot easier if they worked on 2.6.
Compare lba_pci.c between 2.4 and 2.6 -- the new one is a *lot* easier

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
