When we're talking about the kernel, though, 3 _isn't_ guaranteed to be
a stable product ;) If you go back to a previous kernel release, then
perhaps you've just lost all the security improvements. Or lost the
ability to support hardware that's been released in the intervening six
months since Fn-1.
Right, which is why most large pieces of software have a stable and
unstable branch...
You could always have a "special kernel exception" - better to have one
package that can screw you, instead of hundreds...
