Bogus and dishonest argument.

Listen to yourself, and read this thread again.

The thread was about doing some kind of open-source library to allow
non-open-source access to these events, and keeping backwards
compatibility in user space. In fact, that is what you yourself said.

So you claimed it could be backwards-compatible. If that's the case,
then there is no excuse for not being so in the kernel.

You can't have it both ways. Stop the f*cking waffling.
