Tails 2.4 is out

The subtext here is unsettling; I really hope I'm misreading it:

Security issues fixed and announced a month ago are only just now available for TAILS users. https://tails.boum.org/security/Numerous_security_holes_in_2...

TAILS still doesn't ship with a grsecurity-hardened kernel.

These might not be big deals if TAILS wasn't designed specifically for high risk users. Maybe they need more funding and open source love?

Wasn't there some recent drama where the grsecurity folks were going to stop distributing it for free?

The stable patchset, yes. In fact, they are using legally questionable tactics (acting in bad faith) to try to deny users from distributing their GPLv2 stable patchset. I personally don't trust people who have such questionable morals, regardless of what technology they happen to have created.
