I did not suggest enforcing a specific version, but was wondering if the diversity is intentional.
There are surely some modules where the requirement is there because nobody got around to bump it.
Restating the question somewhat: are there reasons for specifically checking for pre 2.6
platforms? Having a requirement on 2.4 is ok if no >=2.6 APIs are used, but ifdefs for pre and post
2.6 or 2.4 gtk are ugly (ex: network-manager-applet, gnome-games)
