How many developers do you plan to hire? :)
We already discussed removing 2.4 support from glibc spell. It is
certainly broken today, nobody really test and use it.
Arch defines minimum linux kernel 2.6.32 now [1].
Personally I would define for Source Mage minimum linux kernel 3.0 (new
LTS) [2]. We could clean glibc and other spells then.

Btw, only linux 3.2 branch is really updated in grimoire and has no
security issues. I don't believe you all install linux kernel manually.

Same as devel-xorg-modular? :-)
So now, if you want modern up-to-date system, you have to scribe
standard grimoire, devel-xorg-modular grimoire, devel-llvm-3.0 grimoire
and devel-udev-kmod grimoire. And manually update libpng.
Yea, easy. :-)
