If you want to prevent incompatibilities, you need to make everything new (potentially including bugfixes) non-default.

I don't think games with configuration files can hide that. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
