As far as I understand this is a highly untrivial task and breaks the "binary
compatible" rule. Nevertheless, this was attempted one or two dot releases ago,
I think as an experiment as much as anything.
I am not sure how the CentOS team thought of that exercise, in hindsight. I
would be interested in knowing. From the explanation that Russ gave, it was a
mighty effort, as far as I remember.
