And if you'd have missed it you'd have found a way to oops a development

A binary driver built with symbol versioning won't load across that change.
If its built without symbol versioning then someone chose to disable
the very protection that is designed to catch it

This is a development tree. It doesnt have a stable binary API, now instead
of bitching how about saying "nice Linus thank you for stopping NFS from
losing data without an error message on NFS file closes" ?
