Well, clearly _some_ people still do.

That's not a fair question.  Virtually no-one will be installing new
systems with 2.0 series kernels.  However, people _will_ be maintaining
systems with 2.0 kernels and they do not want to upgrade because they
don't need to.  They have system which will have been running perfectly
for years, why risk upgrading the kernel when it's not needed?
