You've used similar phrases a few times in this and related threads, and
it prompts a question:
Is this hyperbole, or are you really suggesting that every time a new
kernel install requires a recompile of an external driver or binary
driver shim, that it's because the API has changed?
I had assumed the former, but the number of times you've said it has
made me start to wonder.
