-STABLE only implies that the ABI does not change during that release

IIUC, FreeBSD does not provide binary backward compatibility between
version at all, is that it ?
I guess the answer is "NO", on the same system:
# netstat -m
netstat: memstat_mtl_find: zone mbuf_jumbo_pagesize not found
It would seem that COMPAT_FREEBSD7 is just as useful as is eyes powder
on a scare-crow...

That is not quite correct.
WE do not guarantee interfaces that are used for system configuration etc.
Interfaces used in normal data processing applications we try very
hard to keep stable,
It is assumed that applications that use the system administration
interfaces will come with the system.
for example I can run a "make world" in a chroot populated with
freebsd 1.1 and it actually works (after a few minor tweeks)
(actually I last tested this at 8.1 ).. required a change of PID_MAX
in the kernel config file and a.out compatibility
