They have to do this anyways, don't you see this?

Otherwise they don't support %99 of the kernels out there.

Even if I put this change in now, it would take years for it to
propagate to even a moderate percentage of Linux machines out there.

And applications doing a "we only support kernels > version x.y.z" is
a situation I don't want to promote if you think that's a reasonable
way to handle this.
