One of my paragraphs originally included a fairly lengthy passage on kernel ABI compatibility, but I trimmed it out, and I 'genericized' to more than just the one project, and put in parentheses the statement 'partly to prevent closed-source programs from continuing to work' as a more generic thing, more than just binary kernel modules. It's most assuredly not just the kernel. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
