the point is of making Linux (i.e. specifically the kernel)

AFAIK Linus refuses to guarantee binary backwards compatibility for the
kernel, to allow him to change APIs when he feels it necessary.
That's not what the Fedora developers told me in the past messages about
reverse compatibility in the kernel on this list, but even if that were
the case, I've been able to get Maple 7 to work on older versions of
Fedora using 2.6 kernels.
