Of course not. Red Hat Linux 9 was released one year ago, that was the first NPTL release who made into a distro, that's all. > Lets just say that this was an extremely biased answer.

Have you tried to ask the NPTL main developpers ? Ingo Molnar and Ulrich Drepper will probably give precise answers if you ask precise questions. And if they say that trying to get this working in 2.4 is impossible or too much work/mess for the timeframe left with the 2.4 kernel, then you have something to answer to enquiring users without sounding like someone just bashing their work !
