Hi,

sorry for the mess, but pushing a "virtual" version wasn't such a good 
idea, it triggered release of versions I wasn't aware of (AUR and Homebrew).

So I've removed the tag and apologize to whomever is responsible for 
those distros. Sorry for any confusion I might have created, v2.4.0 was 
never meant to get released (only for the weekly release), so please 
remove it if you (maintainer) are reading those lines.

Sorry, Eric

PS: PyPI was also impacted but I'm the responsible, so already removed.
