The kernel ABIs are stable forever and should be. Glibc tries to stay stable too. It's only the GUIs that wouldn't recognize the word "compatibility" if it turned and bit them in the ass (well, libX11 is stable, but the things on top of it...). Dumping something as cost-less as OSS for cosmetic reasons just means you don't care about compatibility or users in general. Which wouldn't be a first for Fedora, mind you.
