There is no 2.4 (yet) -- we're working on that for this year.  As for
2.9, I don't think we'll see a 2.9 release for many years!  And yes,
going from the yet-to-be-released 2.4 to the yet-to-even-be-planned
alpha release set 2.9 will definitely be too much of a gap.

I have no idea how Ubuntu can offer the non-released 2.4.

I think you mean *2*.2.4 and *2*.2.9?  Going from 2.2.4 to 2.2.9
is fine.  Or at least it should be.
