Says who? You're speaking as if from a position of authority, but what authority do you have?

Dear Ubuntu developers! I can't understand how this happen, but your latest kernel upgrade broke many user-space applications. For me this process was started from Scilab. I can't use it with new kernels (linux-image-3.13.0-121-generic on 14.04; linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic on 16.04). So I reported bug to launchpad - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699892 . Scilab users ask their developers for the fix, but the root of the problem is the kernel (see http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15141, http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15145, http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15192,http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15194, http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15195). After some digging I discovered that other apps are affected too - see comments on other bug page ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698919 ). The list contain the following programs: * Oracle Java Plugin (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699772 ) * Scilab at least in Trusty and Xenial (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699892 ) * LPCxpresso (see https://community.nxp.com/thread/453939 ) * RMongo (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/44699417 ) * Ubiquity UniFi (see https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/UniFi-Controller-failed-after-dist-upgrade/td-p/1967779 ) * Eclipse (see https://askubuntu.com/questions/927746/eclipse-crashes-with-linux-kernel-4-4-0-81-generic ) Debian 7, 8 and 9 are affected too (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865549 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865672 ). It is not OK. Do you plan to revert this security patch? Problem may have wider spread, than detected now. With best regards, Norbert.
