        There was the grand total of *ONE* user who was personally
impacted by the userspace API change (the two other, one was hit by a
bug, now fixed, one was hit because of kernel API change + external
driver). And I immediately proposed to postpone the change to a later
time.


And said user, being me, is currently running with upgraded userspace
without any issues (counting upgrading userspace as a non-issue).

I originally logged my report as I do for other things that break or look
different in new snapshots, in order to provide early feedback to the
kernel developers - I guess it's the actual point of having snapshots
from kernel.org...

Thanks, ciao,
