Sure.  Note that this doesn't have to happen in 2.4.0.  Having it in
2.4.1 or even 2.4.6 is probably fine.  Although note that some long-term
Ubuntu/Debian systems are still running 2.2.6, not 2.2.9, so YMMV.
Obviously the earlier you can make changes the better.

This also works better if we have more frequent (yearly-ish?) major
releases.
