I tend to disagree - a patch level release (x.y.1) normally only contains 
bug fixes, not new features. And since the NetBSD kernel is not working 
anyway with that patch yet, there is certainly no need to rush this - I 
think it's rather materiel for a 2.5.0 release later. Thus I'd rather prefer 
if Nicolas releases the 2.4.1 with the current status.
