No, this is ont the case.  I use stock kernel.org 2.4.x kernels all the 
time on RH nptl systems.  If nptl is not present, glibc reverts to usnig 
the "old" linuxthreads implementation, which is reasonably solid for the 
average joe -- but if you are tunning obscene nubmers of threads like 
pretty much anyone running J2EE or whatnot.. it makes a huge difference 
in stability and scalability.

RH backported it because at the time, 2.5 was pretty unstable.
