Well, you know there is a lot of noise for linux kernel about keeping it
compatible for even very old versions of apps binaries, while in
reality, linux apps binaries are very rare to be executed even from one

Same story that happens to ms to keep compatibility for dos, then for
first win apis, then for second, then oops 640KB is not enough ;)
