I think that a single kernel release cycle is too quick
for a user/kernel API change unless you're trying to fix
something that is new and you have a pretty good idea
that nobody is using it yet. Kernel programmers typically
want to talk about O(6 months) and Linus comes back and
talks aboutg O(10 years)...
