have it today?
In case we don't find a uniform solution that would fit all those cases (==
for the whole release as we know it today), focusing on those specific
levels (modules? rings?! ;) ) might help with different approaches could
help us at least a little bit. Well, considering there are some.
I'm thinking mostly about a base platform. And even there, I think kernel
versions and such can change -- we don't need a RHEL-style kernel ABI
promise. We just need changes there to not break 1) the hardware it runs on
and 2) the stuff on top.
