If I understand correctly, it seems the reason to jump a major version
is because the new glibc breaks binary compatability.

OK... that makes sense.

Why then would RedHat introduce a new glibc into RH 8 that breaks
compatabilty with some programs (wine comes to mind and apparently
VMWare)?  Shouldn't they have patched the glibc version that shipped
(and worked) rather than break RH 8 with a new version?
    

Do you know for sure that it breaks things?  I'm about to install
it today ...
  
Yes! It break things!!!
