Do they _really_ have to work on 2.2?

According to feedback I get for the stuff I'm maintaining people start
to switch over from 2.4 to 2.6 right now, and there was is absolutely
*nothing* for 2.2 last months.  Even anything older than 2.4.20 is
very unusual.

I have a old "known-good-on-2.2" bttv tarball available for download
with a more-than-one-year-old driver release and that's it.

Why not simply point users using old kernels to the old releases?  And
drop the old cruft from the current drivers?
