But this is not acceptable. Well, I'm used to not being listened to
by kernel developers. So let's wait until other people get hit. Just
make sure your name comes up immediately so that people know who to
thank for this.

Fact is, people will complain and therefore those who have to care
about compatibility will create patches which in turned will lead to
incompatible systems, even among 2.4 systems.

(Even compiling & testing glibc with the new headers but a slightly
older kernel fails.)
