Since about 2.4.23/24, I have observed superior download / network
performance, especially on overnet; the problems plaguing earlier
versions seem to have mostly been resolved.

Unless you do some nontrivial patching, introducing 2.5.16 back into
unstable will cause all existing users to lose the partial blocks of
all downloads in progress; this doesn't seem like a particularly good
idea. Personally, I would far rather have 2.5.24+ be released with sarge
than 2.5.16.
