We've never provided that ABI guarantee. We only provide backwards compat, not forwards compat. Official packages are built against the oldest supported version on each stable branch for that reason, so if you MFC this change, 10.x packages will not start using it until 10.3 becomes the oldest supported release for 10.x. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
