I hope that this won't break everything so nothing will work until
everybody completely reconfigures everything to use "capable" et-all.

even init won't even be able to mount file-systems until it's modified.
I won't be able to use /bin/bash in place of init.

Hopefully, this has been well though out. I would not like to have
to continue to use the present kernel forever.

Cheers,
